Head- quarters, August 21,1837. At a general court- martial assembled at Poona on the 27th July. 1837, and of which Lieutenant- Colonel J. Scott, her Majesty's 4th Light Dragoous was President, Lieut. Charles Forbes Jackson, Adjutant 2nd regiment Light Cavalry was tried on the following charge— For highly disgraceful conduct, unbecoming the character of an officer and a gentleman, and the situation held by him in the regiment, in the following instances, viz.: 1. In having at a private party, at the quarters of an officer of of the same regiment, at Sholapoore, on the afternoon of the 24th of May, 1837, engaged in a scuffle with Lieutenant W. Loch of the same regiment, and in having then and there made several cuts at that officer with a drawn sword, which he was not prepared to guard against, and in which scuffle Lieut Loch received a cut and a contusion. 2, In having, after the aforesaid scuffle, used highly opprobrious and offensive language to Lieut. Loch. Finding and Sentence... The court, upon the evidence before them, are of opinion that the prisoner Lieut. C. F. Jackson, Adjutant 2nd L. C., is guilty of the 1st instance of the ch. irge, with the exception of the cut" therein mentioned. Guilty of all and every other part of the charge, excepting that the court are of opinion that he is not guilty of " highly disgraceful conduct' as regards the lst instance of the charge. The court having found the prisoner guilty as above specified, do therefore adjudge him, the said Lieut. C F Jackson, to be dismissed the Hon. Company's Service. Approved and confirmed, ( S i g n e d ) JOHN KEANE, Lieut.- Gen. Commander- in- Chief. In continuation of the proceedings of the same court martial assembled at Poona, on 5th August, 1837, Lient. W. Loch, 2nd L. C. was tried on the following charge :— For highly disgraceful conduct, unbecoming the character of an officer and a gentleman in the following instances, viz ;— 1. In having at a private party, at the quarters of an officer of the same regiment, at Sholapoore. on the afternoon of the 24th Mav, 1837. engaged in a scuffle with Lieut, and Adjutant C. F. J a c k ' s o n . of the same regiment, by striking him with the hamstick of a pellet bow. 2. In having, after the aforesaid scuffle, used highly opprobrious and insulting language to Lieut. Jackson. Remarks by the Court— In conclusion, the court conceive that they shall best discharge the duty they owe the service and the army to which they belong, by noticing, in terms of regret, that the use of uncourteous language and pratical jokes appear to have become too common among ttie members ol the corps in which these charges have originated. The court has carefully abstained from entering upon any matter to this effect, " unconnected with the charges before them ; but it is in evidence upon these proceedings that such a practice does exist • which, to tbe minds of the members composing it, appears productive of the worst consequence to the tone of society in the regiment, as well as subversive of military discipline. Finding and sentece.— The court, upon the evidence before them, are of opinion that the prisoner, Lieut- W. Loch, 2nd L. C. is'not guilty of the first instance of the charge. Guilty of tbe second instance of the charge ; but not guilty of highly disgraceful conduct as regards this instance ; and accordingly judged him to be publicly and severely reprimanded, at such time and place as his Excellency the Commander- in- Chief may be pleased to direct. Approved and confirmed. ( S i g n e d ) JOHN KEANE, Lieut.- Gen. Commander- in- Chief REMARKS BY THE COMMANDER- IN- CHIEF— In the remark of tbe C o u r t , at the conclusion of the second trial, his Excellency fully concurs, and he is sorry to be obliged to observe that the perusal of these proceedings has occasioned him much pain. The degree of familiarity in which the officers of the 2 .1 L. C. have permitted themselvesto indulge when associated together is most unmilitary, and the habits they appearto have contracted, of using language not recognised or tolerated in society, tbe Commander- in- Chief much condemns. Tbe attention of Major Wilson, the officer in command o f t h e regiment, is therefore drawn to the point with a view to its correction. The conduct of Lieut. Jackson asbrought to light in these proceedings, exhibits a want of temper and of judgment very unbecoming a person in his situation and rank in life, and who has bad the advantage of 12 years experience in the Hon. Company's army. This violence and want of decorum on the occasion are w holly inexcusable. The testimonials, how. ever, addressed bv Lieut. Jackson, of former good conduct as an officer, and the strong recommendation of the Court. weigh much with the Commander- in- chief, and justify in his opinion the exercise of a clemency, to which otherwise Ibe stern duties of his station are decidedly opposed. His Excellency is pleased to pardon Lieut. Jackson, and to restore him to the functions of his commission as Lieut, in the 2d Cavalry, in the hope that his future bearing towards those with whom he may be associated in public and private life, will show that his leniency has not been misapplied. In coming to this decision, however, the Commander- in- chief feels it his duty to add, that lie considers it will not be for the advantage ol tile service to continue Lieut. Jackson any longer in ihe situation of Adjutant; and he desires tbe officer commanding 2d Cavalry to recommend another officer for the appointment to the hearl- quarters of the army. " In adverting to the finding and sentence on the charge again ® Lieut. Loch, the Commander in- Chiefentirely approves o f t he distinction the court has drawn in their verdict anil judgment be^ tween two cases resembling each other in their origin, but whic in the investigation appear in such opposite lights, . and his Ex cellency feels assured, from the high character this young gentlaman has borne during the two years of his service, and his extreme youth ( being only 18 years of age), together with Lieut. Loch's own innate feeling of propriety, that the simple publication of the censure passed upon him will prove a sufficient caution, and have the desired effect on Iiis future conduct. " The observations here made are solely applicable to the 2d L. C., in regard to the tone by which the society of its officers appears to be carried on. The Commander- in- Chief is very happy in the opportunity thus afforded him of recording his entire satisfaction with the high feeling of honour and gentlemanly de meanour which he has found to prevail among the officers of the Bombay army, and which the occasion of his visiting the troops at the different stations, and meeting the officers at their own re gimental messes, enables him to attest with confidence, and to mark with this expression of his approval. " Lieuis. Jackson and Loch are to be released from arrest, and will return to their duty. ENSIGN BARRETT... Simla, Aug. 11, 1837.. At a general Court- martial held at Cawnpore, on the 5th of July, 1837, Ensign John Barrett, of the 45th regiment, Native Infantry, was arraigned op tbe following charge : . . " I charge Ensign J. Bar rett with scandalous, infamous behaviour, such as is unbecoming the character of an officer and a gentleman, in the following instances :— First . In having at Cawnpore, about Nov. 1837, wilfully al tered an item of Rs. 50, in an account of the cost of building i house at Agra, into Rs 150, with intent to defraud me of Rs. 100. Second... In having at the same time submitted to be told repeatedly, that he had made incorrect and fresh insertions in the said account, without having taken any steps for the vindication of his character. ( Signed) " KENNETH CAMPBELL, Seetapore, June 11, 1837: " Capt. 25th Regt. N. I," Finding. . That Ensign John Barrett did, in November, 1836, wilfully alter an item in Rs. 50, in an account of tbe cost. & c. into Rs. 150; butthe court considers that the alteration was then made to correctan erroneous entry in an account, and not with a fraudulent intention, of which the court fully and honorably acquit him On the second instance of the charge the court find that Ensign J. Barrett is guilty, and on the charges generally guilty of unollicerlike conduct. Sent e n c e . . T o be reprimanded as the Cointnander- in- Chief may direct. Approved, & c. R I M A it K S BY H i s EXCELLENCY THE COMMANDER- IN- CHIEF.— Ensign Barrett having been found guilty on the second charge only , of the charges brought against him by Capt. Campbell, and p. s it appears in evidence he acted under the advice of a friend and senior officer, the Commander- in- Chief does not deem that any further reprimand is necessary than that conveyed by t h e words of the sentence of the court. The Ensign is to be released from arrest, and to return to his duty. The Commanderin- Chief condemns the conduct of Capt. Campbell in this transaciion. Capt. Campbell had lived with Ensign Barrett as a friend ; they had built a bouse in partnership, in which transaction several thousand rupees had been disbursed, chiefly advanced by the Ensign. The Ensign had advanced money to the Captain on several occasions; yet neither party had kept any thing like a correct account of any of these tiansactious. The consequence was that when the time for a settlement between the parties came, there were items amounting to between Rs. 200 and 300 disputed by Capt. C. in the account. On discussions arising about these trifling sums, Capt. C., forgetful of his former intimacy and connection, and regardless of blighting the prospects of tbe Ensign, accused him of intended fraud, and of want of manly spirit and courage • The verdict having recorded that no eriminlity attached to any pari of the Ensign's conduct, the charge of Capt. Campbell can only redound to the latter's discredit; and ! coupled with his addresses, in anticipation of the evidence, to the DIARY illustrative of the times of GEORGE THE FOUREH, inter, spcrsed with Original Letters from tho late Queen CAIIOI. INE, and from various other Distinguished Personages. 2 Vols.— COLBURN. { From the Atheneeum.) Saturday, the 28th of October, 1811.. Yesterday Sir Walter F - — - came and told me a curious conversation which be had held the night before with the Prince Regent, ' f Well, F r, so you were paying your court to the Princess of '. Vales at Tonbridge, I bear," alluding to the day lie went there last May. when she spoke to Sir Walter. The Baronet ; " Yes, Sir, her Royal Highness was very gracious to me, and I thought it mv duty to show the Princess of Wales every icspect; but I did not stay to supper, tlio' she was graciously pleased to invite me ; because I thought, if your Royal Highness heard of it, you may not have been pleased." Regent.." What did she say to you ?" " She asked me, Sir. why I had not advised the Princess Charlotte to goto the sea side for a change of air, saying ' it would do her Royal Highness a great deal of good,' and insisted upon it that I ought to do so." " And what did you reply 1" eagerly questioned the Prince. " I replied, Sir, tbat when 1 bad last the honour of seeing her Royal Highness the Princess Charlotte, she was in such perfect health tbat she Appeared not to require any medical advice; consequently, it would be highly improper that I should interfere. ' Oh, Sir Walter F ,' rejoined the Princess of Wales, • you are a courtier ;' and we both laughed." Regent. . Was that all 1" " Yes, Sir, that was all. . stay, another word, I recollect; when the Princess first did me the honour to speak to me, she said, ' I know you dare not, you must not speak to me ?' to which 1 answered—' Pardon me, Madam, 1 never bad any orders from the Prince not to speak to the Princess of Wales.'" Lord Moira bas accepted this honorable banishment, because he cannot help himself, and is ruined... but who ruined him? He lent uncounted sums of money in former years, of which no note whatever was taken, and of which lie never will see one farthing in return. Yet no one pities or feels for this man. Why 1 . . because he is of nobler stuff than the common herd. Vanity and ambition perhaps, bis only flaws, if flaws tbey be ; but his attachment, or ralher devotion lo the Regent, was sincere, chivalric, and of a romantic kind, such as the world neither believes in nor understands ; it was a kind of affection which amounted even to a passion ol the mind, and, like all passions, led him into one or two acts beneath the " chevalier sans peur et sans reproche," but nevertheless he is a noble creature upon the whole; and what can poor human nature ever be more ? NOTE FROM H . 11. H . TIIF. PRINCESS OF WALES. A11 the news I can offer you, my dear , is a most dreadful blunder which that wonderful woman, Madame dc Stael, has committed. She was in some party several evenings ago. and mistook old Mrs. B for the Marchioness of Hertford. She began by assuring her ' que larenommce avoitvantesa heauteetson esprit pnrtout le Continent— que ses portraits etioent graves, et faisaicnt, lescharmeset lornement de tousles palais.'— Of course, you may imagine that this event has been the laughing stock of these last eight and forty hours. I had tbe unexpected happiness of seeing my brother return ; he gives no sanguine hopes at all of the restoration of Germany, and he has a very sad opinion of Bernadotte. To conclude mv letter. I must only give you another piece of information, that Madame De Stael has not discovered la Pierre Philosophale, but ' that Lord Castlereagh's speech about the treaty with Sweden was the most eloquent, most rheto rical. and persuasive speech that ever was made in Parliament :' these are Madame De Stael's own wotds. 1 fear this is not the way of pleasing in this country, at least, the generality of the English people. She also had a great dispute with Lord Lansdowne about the Catholic question, which has, of course, given great offence to all the Opposition ; at least he might have supposed that Madame De Stael must be tolerant ; but writing and speaking seem to be two different things with her. I will not not longer dwell upon hear, and only anticipate the pleasure of having an agreeable tete- a- tete with you on Sunday morning. Yours sincerely, ( Signed) " C. P." At five o'clock I was at Connaugbt House ; found Lady Anne dressed out like a mad Chinese. Miss Garth very quiet as usual. The Princess arrayed in crimson velvet up to tbe throat, looking very well. Shortly after arrived Princess Charlotte and the Duchess of Leeds ; the former took very little notice of her mother, so little that 1 do not wonder the Princess of W—— was hurt. She took me by the arm and led me to the fire place, and 1 saw she was ready to weep; I felt for her. The Princess Charlotte addressed herself wholly to Miss Gar. tji; and as in a few moments tbe Princess Sophia came, she laid hold of ber and conversed aside witli her, all which must have been most cutting to tbe mother's heart. Oh 1 what an evening of deceit, and of coldness, and of cunning ! During dinner time 1 heard the Princess pouring dissatisfaction into her daughter's ear. . if it was not there already, . saying, " all the world bad hoped for promotions, and for emancipation from prisons, & c., tlie day of iier coming of age, but no public testimony of joy had been shown on the occasion, and it had passed away in a mournful silence." Princess Charlotte was considerably struck, and refilled," Oh, but the war and the great expences of tbe nation occasion my coming of age to be passed over at present. " A very good excuse, truly," said the Princess of W " and you are child enough to believe it I" and so ended all I heard them say. The letter ( from the Princess) bas been read to the Prince Regent. His Royal Highness is not pleased to give any answer, says my Lord Liverpool. What is to be done : Brougham seems to be at a stand still; the R ——' tell me that what the Prince is determine! to try lor is a divorce. .1 hardly think that he will though. Princess Charlotte would be furious, for fear of his LAW REPORTS. COURT OF KI NG'S~ TSEN CH — D U B LIN. CRIMINAL ^ FORMATION— LIBEL. DUBLIN, MEETING IN S T .

The game of change seats, tbe King's coming, is what she would not at all enjoy, therefore she would naturally make a strong party to prevent this, and many persons dissatisfied with the Prince would side with her, not from any other motive but self- love ' lis, alas ! the most powerful one with ihe generality of mankind. Besides, he dare not— Ibe clean hands are wanting. After dinner the Princess received a letter from ihe Princess Charlotte, who told her she had written to the Prince her father, refusing, but in a very respectful manner, to have any more governesses, and gave ihe Princess of Wales an account of a dispute she had with tbe Queen and her aunts about it. The Princess of Wales was in tho third heaven of delight. Wednesday, 13th.— The Princess came to me yesterday in a great bustle, as though she were' big with the fate of Caio and of Rome.' She had received another letter from her daughter., such a character... sucb firmness, . such determination 1 She was enchanted. The Prince bad been with the Chancellor to Windsor, anil, in presence of tbe Queen, demanded what she meant by refusing lo have a governess. She referred him entirely to her letter, upon which the Queen and her father abused her, as being an obstinate, perverse, headstronggirl. " Besides," said the Prince, " I know all that passed in Windsor Park ; and if it were not for my clemency. I would have you shut up for life. Depend upon it, as long as I live you shall never have an establishment, unless you marry." " Charlotte never spoke, or moved a muscle ( said tbe Princess ot Wales); and the Prince and the Chancellor departed as they came, but nothing could be more determined or immoveable than she was:" Sunday, 17. . Lady de Clifford came and told the Princess all the story of the Regent's scolding Princess Charlotte over again, and repeated what he had said in respect to ber never having an establishment till she married. He'had also, she said, called her a fool, and used other violent language. The Chancellor told the Princess Charlotte, that if she hail been his daughter, and had written him such a letter, he would have locked her up till she came to her senses. " Rather violent language," said Lady D e Clifford, " for a coal- heaver's son to the fulure Queen of England." Sunday, 24th.— Yesterday, the Princess went to meet thePrincess Charlotte at Kensington. L a d y . . . . told me that when the latter arrived she rushed up to her mother, and said, " For God's sake be civil to her," meaning tlie Duchess of Leeds, who followed her. L a d y . . . . said she felt sorrv for the latter, but when the Princess of Wales talked to her, she soon became so free and easy that one could not have any feeling about her feelings- Princess Charlotte, 1 was told, was looking handsome, very pale, but her head more becomingly dressed, that is to say, less dressed than usual ; her figure is of thai full round shape which is now in its prime ; she disfigures herself by wearingher bodice so short, that she literally lias no waist; her feet are very pretty, and so are her hands and arms, and her ear and the shape of her head ; her countenance is expressive, when she allows her passions to play upon it, and 1 never saw any face with so little shade, express so many powerful and various emotions. Lady told me that the Princess Charlotte talked to her about ber situation, and said, in a very quiet but determined way, she would not bear it, and that as soon as Parliament met, she intended to come to Warwick House, and remain there ; that she was also determined not to consider the Duchess of Leeds as her governess, but only as her first lady. She made many observations on other persons and subjects, and appears to be very quick, very penetrating but imperious and wilful. EFFIGY OF GEORGE I V . Lady told me the old Ouran ( Sapio) and bis wife were with the princess the whole day; that at dinner she cried and looked very ill, said she had been so all night, and seemed really suffering. After dinner, her royal highness made a wax figure as usual, and gave it an amiable addition of large horns; then took three pins out of her garment and stuck them through and through, and put the figure to roast and melt at the fire. If it was not too melancholy to have to do wilh this, I could have died of laughing. Lady says the princess ind ulges in this amusement whenever there are no strangers at table ; and she thinks her royal highness really has a superstitious belief that destroying this effigy of her husband will bring to pass the desstruction of his royal person. Whata silly pieceofspite I Yet is is impossible not to luagh when one sees it done. John H. Sheil v. the Proprietor of the Westmeath Guardian. Mr. MARTLEY, Q. C. stated that he was prepared to move that the conditional order for a criminal information should be made absolute.. but it would be necessary to use supplemental affidavits which had been filed, to answer the new matter introduced by the defendant, and several other persons, for the purpose of showing cause. The supplemental affidavits had been filed, but leave to use them had not yet been granted by the court. Mr. WEST, Q. C, denied the right of Mr. Marlley to use these supplemental affidavits, and it was only when the court found that new matter was introduced into ths affidavit in reply that they wonld would even attendto ihe application for liberty to use supplemental affidavits. Judge PERIUN. . Why did you not apply for liberty to file the affidavits. M r. MARTLEY. . I cannot answer why that was not done. The COURT eoncurred iu opinion that the prosecution should go on upon the original charging affidavit, or else the motion for making absolute the conditional order weuld fall to the ground. Mr. MARTLF. Y observed, that he would consult with the other counsel as to what course should be adopted. REV. ROBERT o'CALLAGHAN V. HENRY O'EP. IEN. Mr. MOORE showed cause against a conditional order for setting a side a verdict obtained by the plaintiff at the last assizes for the county Tipperary. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, as vicar of the parish of Shanahan, cotiniy Tinperary, against the defendaot for eight shillings and nine- pence, the amount of two years'tithe composition due by him. The action wasoneof debt, and likewise for an account stated and settled. In 1829, the Rev. Charles Ttickey had been vicar of the parish of Shanahan, and having died about three years ago, the plaintiff was appointed as his successor, and continued to act as such up to the present period. On the 4th of August, 1829, Mr. Harvey Rice was appointed a commissioner for the purpose ofhaving the parish placed under the tithe composition act, and Mr. James Grove White was nominated as another commissioner by the plaintiff, on the part of himself and tne Right Hon. Lord Lismore, lay impropriator. The two commissioners regularly qualified by takin- r the usual affidavits, and then made a certificate bv which they found the tithes of the parish to be 3401. a- year. out of which the Rev. Charles Tuckey, as vicar, was entitled to 2501. as his one- third of the tithes, and Lord Lismore as lay improprietor to 90i. for his two- thirds. Judge CRAMPTON— Bv this certificate it would appear than onethird is more than two- thirds. Mr. Moore— 1 will explain that in a very short time. The two commissioners joined in making the applotment, and it appeared tbat thedef? ndant was charged at the rate of 8s. 9( 1, for two years, the amount for which the action had been brought. It was prov: ed at the trial that the defendant had also promised the a » ent of Lord Lismore to pay theamount of the tithes. Upon tlie part of the defendant general objections bad been taken to the regularity of the proceedings, and it was objected that the certificate staled that Lord Lismote was entiled to two- thirds, when in rea. lity only 901. was awarded bim out of 3401. Now, in the first place it was not competent for a parishioner to make any objection upon this subject, but theapparent inconsistency could easilv be explained. By the 16th section of the composition act, ihe commissioners weie to take the average amount of tithes paid during the last seven years previously, anrltliis they fixed at 3401. Supposinijjhe entire tithes c. f a parish to amount to 6001. a- year, and tbat the lay impropriator was entitled to 4001. as his twothirds, and the vicar was only to receive 2001., yet the latter, if more attentive to his rights, and seeking to enforce them, might recover more during seven years than the individual who had abstract rights to a greater extenr. It would he unjust in the extreme that the 2001. of tbe clergymen should be cut down by the negligence of the lay impropriator. Several cases had occurred before the privv council in which it appeared that the vicar who had only the'one- third, was entitled to more than the impropriator, who had abstract claims to tbe two thirds, because the former had enforced his claims. The only one who could be said to have any right to dispute the validity of the certificate was Lord Lismore, but his lordship had signified his assent to it. A second objection was made at Ihe trial, that the applotmetif book had not been signed by the same commissioners wbo made the certificate, but the legislature provided in the 15th section of the act for any difficulty that might arise from the illness or absence of any ofthe commissioners, by enabling another to ba appointed in bis place. But even if tne objections were lo prevail, there was also an account settled, and Lord Lismore's agent had the defendants offer to pay the annual amount of tithes. Mr. HATOHELL, Q. C., in support of the conditional order said, that the last point relierl upon was a m.- re after thought, for at the trial nothing was depended upon in reference to the account stated and settled. The action, was brought for two years' tithe composition at* 4s. 4£ d. a year, and the defendant had never disputed his liability to pay a certain portion of tithes for other lands than those sought to be etiected by Ihe verdict. The C H I E F J U S T I C E — D o you suggest any inconvenience from the alleged irregularity ofthe proceedings 1 Mr. HATCH ELI. said he was riot prepared to suggest any at the moment, but the plaintiff having brought his action of debt, was bound to prove his title. The learned counsel then contended that the certificate was, upon the face of it, an informal document ; and it did not appear by it that the whole tithes of the palish were included, as required by the act of parliament. Feeling the informality of the certificate, the plaintiff's counsel produced another, dated October, 1829, by wbich the tithes were estimated at 3251. and Ctesar Sulton was the person declared to be entitled to a portion of them. Mr. MOORE said be had no recollection of such a document having been produced, and it did not appear on tlie judge's report. Mr. HATCIIELI. was positive it had been produced. The COURT directed the case to stand until an inquiry should be made upon this matter of fact. C O U R T O F E X C H E Q U E R . The Chief Baron ond Barons Richards and Foster entered the court at about a quarter past one o'clock. Mr. Sergeant GREENE moved lhat Mr. Henry Noblett should be appointed a commissioner of tbe court to take affidavits for the City of Cork, in the room of Mr. Howard, deceased. Several respectable membersof the legal profession had certified that Mr. Noblett was a fit and proper person to be appointed to the office. Mr. Sergeant JACKSON.. I bave a similar application to make on behalf of Mr. Joseph Lindsay Cuttis. and I move that he be appointed in the place of Mr. Howard, I admit that Mr. Sergeant Greene's client is a very respectable man, but mv client is equally so, and, in addition to ithat, he is the senior of' Mr. Noblett. CHIEF BARON. . W e see no objection to Mr. Sergeant Greene's application, and of course we must grant i t ; " first come first served"..( Laughter,) Mr. Sergeant Gteenehaveyou anyother motion to make 1 Mr. Sergeant GREENE... No, my Lord. TITHES 1 TITHES 1 I TITHES 1 I I— COUNTY OF CORK. The Rev. John W. Graves, v. Nicholas M'Carthy and Others Mr. Sergeant JACKSON.. Oh, 1 made my motion, my Lord.. I regret, to sav it was refused. .( Laughter,) Mr. BARRY, on behalf of the defendant M'Carthy, moved that he be discharged from custody, he having been arrested under a commission of rebellion while attending the petty sessions of Midleton, County of Cork, whither lie had been summoned to give evidence. I CHIEF BARON.. This not being equity day, Mr. Barry, you may as well mention it to- morrow, when we shall have the equity officer in Court, CELEBRATEDQUEENS. . The two delightful volumes which have appeared under the title of " Memoirs of Celebrated Female Sovereigns," bv Mrs. Jameson, are said to have been favourite books at Kensington Palace, during the minority of our illustriousQueen. Their pages are replete with interest, and asan historical production cannot fail to add greatly to the reputation ofthe writer, already distinguished by the admirable work, " The Characteristics of Women, or an Analysis of the Female Characters of Shakspeare's i Plays. MISERIES OF INDOLENCE.. None so little enjoy life and are such burdens to themselves as those who have nothing to do. The active only bave the true relish of life. He who knows not what it is to labour knows not what it is to enjoy. Recreation is only valuable as it unbends us; the idle know nothing of it. It is exertion that renders rest delightful, and sleep sweet and undisturbed. That, the happiness of life depends upon the regular prosecution ofsome laudable purpose or laudable calling, which engiges, helps and enlivens all our powers, let those bear witness who, after spending years in active usefulness, retire to enjoy themselves. They are a burthen to themselves.. Rev. XV. Jay. LOVE OF FAME. . A rare thing this literature, or love of fame, or notoriety which accompanies it. Here is Mr. Henry Mackenzie on the very brink of human dissolution, as actively anxious about it as if the curtain must not soon be closed on " that and everything else. He calls me his literary confessor; antl I am sure, I am glad to return the kindness which he showed i » e lon » since in George Square.

Sir IV. Seott' Diary. Tn ESDAY, J A N . 16— Yesterday, a meeting of the parishioners of St. Mark's, friendly to municipal reform, vote by ballot, and aboliiion of tithes, was held in the Great Room. Corn Exchange, for the purpose of adopting resolutions and petitions in their favour,— Mr. JOHN PEARSON was called to the chair. After resolutions for the above objects had been passed, Mr. D A L Y proposed a vote of thanki to Mr. O'Connell for his general exertions, and particularly for his exertions in putting an end to the system of combination disgracing the city. Mr. MACENNIS seconded the resolution. Mr. P. MURPHY, a regular carpenter, fully concurred in the sentiments of the resolution. Mr. O'Connell having seen the city disgraced with outrages, and being informed by some of the employers who waited on him tbat it was to the trades they were attributable, he came forward like a man, and gave the trades an opportunity of rebutting these charges. Why, then, should he be attacked ? He had acted as a man ought to act, and why should he be abused 1 He had been aggrieved and insulted because be said that Mr. O'Connell had actid like a m a n . , ( H e a r ) . The aggregate. or rather the pretended aggregate meeting ( cheers) had been got up, it was said by the movers of it, to vindicate the character of the trades, and why, then, should they introduce politics and the personal abuse of O'Connell ? He would not be allowed to speak, because be was of opinion that Mr. O'Connell had acted like a man. It was a packed jury ( cheers). After their pledges what businesshad tliey in introducing the children of Manchester or the tithe question ? Mr. O'CONNELL... Was there any violence towards you ? Mr. MURPHY would keep that for another time. He wished the Orange gang were before him, and he would soon tell them all that happened, He attended at tbe meeting of the committee held in Gloucester street, and they hallooed their bull dogs after him, and he was falsely strnck upon the face. Mr. P. O'Brien had no rightto say there were600 tradesmen to back him. He was a tradesman, and he denied it ( cheers). No honest Irishmay would join him ( loud cheers). There never was such a selection of Orangemen as there were at the meeting ( cheers). - He could prove it. There never were so many Orangemen collected in or about a chapel before, unless at the burning df one ( cheers,) He disregarded theOrangemen He did not want work from them or their Orange foremen. He stood in opposition to them. Because he knew they were ihe cause of all tee evils of Ireland. These men wanted lo throw a cloud over the fame O'Connell, but it would burst forth from the darkness with double brightness. He differed also with Mr. M'Donagh. That person had wanted a censure upon the system of agitation, ascribing to it the decline of trade. Their trade had opposed this, and, in consequence, it was smuggled into the next resolution, and thus passed without observation ( hear, hear.) After enteringat length into tbe benefits of agitation, heconcluded. The resolution then passed. Petitions founded on these resolutions were then adopted. Mr. O ' C O N N E L L then rose and said.. It is now my duty to address those of my constituents as are bere assembled ( cheers.), and who have honoured me by adopting so flattering a resolution as that which has just now passed : and I confess I felt great pleasure and satisfaction at the honest . and indignant carpenter who lias addressed you, and has clearly exposed the foul source from which the attacks that have been made upon me proceed. 1 am here in the discharge of a public duty. I shall say nothing about the tithes, as that question will be discussed at the meeting tomorrow, and I will speak on the subject at large. However it is right I should make this one observation. One ofthe many calumnies about me is, that I have abandoned the approptiation clause. Tbe people of England call me traitor forgiving up the appropriation clause ( hear, hear hear.) What was that clause ? It was to allot a portion of the tithes to the purposes of education. That was a very good object ( hear, hear, hear.) When I was looking forthat clause the calumny against me was that I was not calling for a total abolition of tithes. I was then for having a portion set apart for the satisfaction of vested rights and the surplus set apart for the purposes of education. Now I am for the total abolition, and is it not most absurd to acquse a man o f abandoning tbe surplus of that which he is aboujt entirely, to annihilate? That is au English and not an Irish b|) ll. » .(, CAeer « ;).. I will come next to tlie extension of the suffrage, and I rejoice at , the manner in which you have worded theresolution onthatsnbject. Taxation and representationshould be equal. All are taxed, therefore all should be represented.. ^( Cheers.) I am glad of what you say on the ballot. It was said in England that the people won . the elections there by intimidation. Whatever she may follow t from it the ballot will do away with that, for no man will know how another rotes, and we who are accused ofintiraidBtion , are the very first to give it up, and to call for the means to prevent ' it ( hear, hear.) As for municipal reform, every one knows that l a m a decided advocate of it, and, I believe, we are near obtain- J ing a complete measure of municipal reform, and a total extinction of tithes ( loud cheers.) But as for the ballot and the extension of the suffrages, they are English as well as Irish questions. Some of the English Radicals have behaved ill towardslreland in attacking the present Ministry for not consenting to those measures, and not giving them credit for the good which they have done to Ireland, ( Hear.) I am as much in favour of these measures as any English Radical can be ; but I am too honest a man, independently of being an Irishman, to refuse the Ministry praise for what ihey bave ( lone in the government of this country. But now, Sir, have I retaliated upon the English Radicals 1 By taking up ilieir cause. By calling for the ballot and for the extension of tbe s uffrage for them as wel I as ourselves, and I have no doubt but there will be more petitions in their favour presented from Ireland alone than from England and Scotland together.— ( Cheers.) It was said in Birmingham and elsewhere that they wished I would devote myself to English questions. Why, so I do, and am more zealous in their pursuit than the English members themselves. I defy any of thtrn lo surpass me. Bul t h o ' I am zealous in tbe cause of England, yet I never will forget or be inactive with regard to Irish objects which, I admit, and gloiy in it, are much dearer lo my heart. ( Cheers.) Sir, there yet remains an important subject, of which you have lately heard a great deal upon which I feel it my duty to observe. . 1 mean combination There are two melancholy facts now under my observation.— l s t . During the past week four wretched men were convicted of an outrage on an unoffending man, and an outrage of th « most revolting description. They broke into the house of theit victim, beat the husband nearly to death before the eyes of his wife, and then cruelly beat the wife for attempting to assist her husband ( cries of oh i oh 1 ond shame, shame I") Are these men Irishmen ( cries of no no.) Oh, Sir. they are called Irishmen, and is it not a shocking state of society that we live in, when such crimes can be perpetrated 1 This unfortunate man was beaten merely because he would not become a " billy Welter".. ( Cries of oh I oh1.) Now, I'll tell you what I have been told. 1 have been told that one man of the persons thus convicted and sentenced to seven years' transportation, was not concerned in any way in the outrage, and that is tbe chief reason why I exclaim against this system, because the innocent are punished as well as the guilty. . This is what I used to preach to the Whiteboys in the south. Such instances as this I showed them. 1 held up this as ihe greatest of their crimes, and 1 succeeded in entirely putting down the spread of Whiteboyism in the country . ( hear.) The second melancholy fact which I have to notice is, that a conspiracy of the most horrible nature has lately been discovered in Great Britain, and exposed by tbe trial of some unfortunate men in Glasgow. Though these men were not convicted of the murder, they have been convicted of the conspiracy, and they, too, are sentenced to seven years' transportation. See how horrible are the effects of this combination... cHear.) Four men in this city ate now lying under sentence of transportation. Oh I if they knew how dreadful is their punishment, they would petition to be hanged rather than sentenced to it. Tliey don't know the enormity of their punishment, and I am blamed because I have raised my voice warning them tbat they would be separated, . parentsfrom children, husbands from wives, and that the dearest family ties would be broken asunder ( Hear, hear.) Oh! if the scream of anguish be abroad, and if the widowed wife be wailing for her hnsband, and the children be la: mentingfor their father, and if grief bespread amang brothers Ss sisters, and friends and kindred, because of the transportation of any who bave committed those offences, . let the blame fall upon those who have opposed me ( Hear, hear, and cheers.') ; while with honest men, such as those whom I address, I will get credit for my endeavours, and also before the throne of that God wbo isto be my judge ( Cheers.) Now, Sir, I will come to particulars. Four murders were committed in this city during the slating system. One was the murder of Morton's journeymen near the draw: brirlge. Italian assassination is nothing to that mur: der. Well, has the ship building trade been benefited! No, it has al: most entirely disappeared, & is springing up quite close to us in Droglieda. There was the murder of the carpenter, Chambers who was brutally assassinated in the open day. A V o i c e . . It was at night. Mr. O'CONNELL :— Very well : at night. The crime is the same at night as in the day. There wasthe murder of Hanlon— that was in the open d a y . . aud the murder of another man whose name I forget; and for none of these horrid crimes have persons been punished, with the exception of Hanlon's murderers ( Hear.) I defy any ons to deny that these were connected with the. slating sys'em ( Hear.) Mr. Counery made an important statement on the subject the other day. He has since been confined by the gout, but he was brought to my bouse, and helped into my room by two persons. He went through the reply of the painters, and stated to me what would be his answer, and it is satisfactory ( Hear.) No doubt, Boylan's men had a right to publish a contradiction, and I know some of them have contradicted trulye but even by them t find these astounding facts admitted. They I admit that the practice of slating did exist, Have they denidj THE CORK SOUTHERN REPORTER. C O N T I N U E D F R O M F I R S T I'AFIE. the existence of a slating rent ? They could. not, lor- uiey - new that it did exist. T h a t is. assassination- money used to be collected ( hear). When the existence of violence and attacks upon • he person was asserted, why not come forward and sjy that it was false ? Because they could not ( Hear). When I spoke of these murderB I spoke of them as h a v i n g taken place 17 years ago. They say I accused them of murder ; and the printers come torward with their long advertisement denying it. Why, Sir, it is » ot true that I charge them. I accuse those who were in trade 17 years ago. Why, this honest carpenter was not bound 17 years ago ; and surely I do not accuse him ; and instead of oppotnig me they ought to go back and join with me in reprobating those murders which have taken place ( Hear. ) Dean Swift m his advice to servants tells them that tbey have great good luck if their master find fault with them wrongfully ; and if they be able to show him that he was wrong, because for every tiling he finds fault with them they need only scratch their heads, and remind him of the knives and forks where he wronged them— ( Laughter) That's just what the printers have done, Ihey say I am accusing them, and have accused them wrongfully.— Why, I don't accuse them at all. I am ashamed of such intel • ligent men as the printeri taking such paltry ground; But this Isay of them, that in all their advertisement, I do not find an expression of that horror which I would expect at these brutal murders. ( hear.) You remember too that in the resolution adopted at the • o- called aggregate meeting, expressive of their dislike of illegal combination— not one word ot themurdera was mentioned ( hear). I may be aiked why I revive these murders. 1 will tell you. Because three brutal murders have recently been committed, ( hear) I said, and I say Hill, that these murders cannot be traced to the trades. They could be traced to the Billy Smiths. The exact perpetrators 1 have not discovered ; but I have heard that they were paid murders, ( hear) One man, Ganly, of whom I have lately spoken, was murdered for having committed some breach of the rules of the egg. market The Mail and the Packet raised a cry thit this arose from a Popish conspiracy, and that Ganly was a Protestant. I 6ud that he was a Protestant, but I want to get his murderers punished ( hear) ; and this Mail and Packet bv opposing me, take a part with the murderers. And I say that nothing so disgraceful as the conduct of these papers has ever oc • curred, unless it were the conduct of the barrister who had the exceeding indecency to introduce politics into the sacred court ef justice in order to influence a jury.— However, I am glad for the poor shoe- maker's sake, especially as they were accused of no violence, that he hid an acquittal. The accused had nothing to do with the counsel but to pay bim ; no matter what the depravity of that, counsel may bc. se as he docs his dutv towards his client, it is all that the client, would require. But, Sir, the printers have assailed me in a long advertisement...(/ fear.) I wish in that advertisement they had said something against the " Billy Smiths" and the practice of slating. To those subjects they ray but a slight regard—( Hear.) What motive could I have for attacking them ? Is it for the love of Dixon Hardy of the Mail, the Packet, or the Warder, who employ them ? The only papers I care for in Dublin are the Freeman, the Register, and the Pilot, ( a voice, " the Evening Post.") Oh, the Evening Post can sustain itself : and now I am bound to add that It nobly sustains the cause of the country—( Cheers)— and I always forget by- gones when a man turns out for his country— ( Cheers ) The Mercantile Advertiser is also an honest paper ( W ) If my interest were to lead me any way it would bo to back the journeymen against the employers...( Hear.) But that would be a dishonest motive. Now I act upon an honest one—( Hear.) Wel1, Sir,- in their letter the printers do not answer any of the three charges which I have brought against them. First, I charged them with the limitation of apprentices. They don't deny it— they avow it and defend it. They say if they did not do so there would be too many apprentices. Is not that the business of the fathers ahd the motheis, and not of them ( Cheers.) Are they not enough Without tbe assistance of the Printers' Society ? ( Hear, hear)... The desire of monopoly and lucre under the pretence of compassion for their children. Well, then, first, they have no right to exclude the child from apprenticeship. I am the advocate of the child. ( Hear, hear.) " I am the advocatejof the widow's child who is thus deprived of the means of earning his bread... I am the advocate of the orphan boy, who is sent out on the world Without getting a chance of subsistence by this cruel system. Will the printers acknowledge that they act thus ? What kind of magistrates must we bave who permit this? The fading remnant of the rotten corporation., rotten old aldermen and doating old sheriffs'peers ( Hear and laughter)... We have an excellent police, but the* they can be of no use, for they will be discountenanced on account of the great contrast there would be between them and the magistrates. ( Hear.) Let us have young magistrates. I allow that the present are entitled to their retiring salaries. As representative of the city of Dublin, I call upon the Government to reform our magistracy. From this spot I call for their attention. 1 call upon them to superannuate those whom nature has already superannuated, and whowere little better than old Women even when they were young. ( Cheers and laughter.) If this were done, we would not have been avowing that they had broken the law. The next thing I charge them with is, that every man has equal wages. If the employer were allowed to pay every man according to his merit, he could pay the good workman more than he does, and enable him to become an employer. * PRICE OK IRISH STOCKS, JANUARY 16. 5 percent.

ROYAL EXCHANGE — All apprehension of any further dan. ger from the fire at the Royal Exchange being over, a great number of workmen, at an early hour this morning, commenced boarding up the ruins, previous to the walls being pulled down, and the ruins taken away. All the avenues leading to the Bank, Cornhill and the Stock Exchange, are now free for foot passengers, the barricades have been removed, but the Police still remain to prevent coaches and carts from passing. Up to the present hour, we cannot add any further particulars, and we must wait for the re- eonstruction of th « building of a new Royal Exchange— which will no doubt, be erected on the same spot, with great improvements. The workmen experience great difficulty in clearing away the ice opposite the Bank, being frozen to some depth They are working with sledge-. hammers, and can scarce break it. ALARMING FIRE AX THE STOCK EXCHANGE... Last night, between six an d seven o'clock, afire broke forth from tha upper part of the Stock Exchange, which occasioned the most painful excitement. Several of the firemen on duty at the ruins of the Royal Exchange, were speedily apprised ofthe fact, and they instantly reached the spot with an engine and scaling ladders, when they ascertained that several trusses of straw, which had been placed over thepipes of a large tank of water during the fro « t had ignited, but by what means it is not known. In a short time however, the firemen subdued the devastating element, with but slight damage to the roof, much to the joy of the inhabitants of the immediate neighbourhood. F I R E AT THE ROYAL ARSENAL, WOOLWICH— Much excitement prevailed at this great military depot on Friday afternoon, in consequence of its being discovered that ignition had taken place in a warehouse in the East Wharf. Every exertion was promptly used to subdue the furious clement, which was shortly effected, without any material damage. TROOPS FOR CANADA, made this charge twice. It has not been denied. I repeat it now. Thirdly, I charge them with interfering in the master's choice of a workman. Tbe printers are successful monopolists because there is a great demand fot them, and their monopoly is close. There would be more newspapers, I a; n well aware, but for this monopoly. There is one compliment which they pay me in their letter. They i a y i - " As it is our earnest desire that the present should be onr final appeal to the public, we would, in conclusion, briefly advert to the course which Mr. O'Connell has lately pursued towards the operative printers. To him we are indebted for the opposition to our rights wbich has been lately manifested, principally in tile north of Ireland, on the part of men who were deficient in tbe courage which schemes of oppression and aggrandizement occasionally demand ; and who gladly availed ' themselves of the shield wbich the name of O'Connell furnished, while seeking to deprive their operatives of those privileges, as free agents, for which the hon. and learned gentleman has so long » nd so strenuously contended.,' He would wish the compliment was true, but it was not. He could have no connection with Mr. Finlay, of the Northern Whig, for though they agreed in some things, thev differed in many. Mr. Finlay had acted manfully He hoped his excellent friend Mr. Staunton would follow his ex ample, and he would meet with similar success. He could have no conrection with Emerson, of the Ulster Times, the brother of Emerson Tennent ( Hear.) He, too, had succeeded, and now employed what men he chose. He must admit that the Limerick Chronicle and other Tory provincial papers had seconded him in his endeavours, and left to the Mail and Packet the dirty work of opposing him ( hear.)

It will be seen from our Cove note that the Pique Frigate, commanded by the gallant Captain BOXER, Nelson's own favourite Cockswain, was in the offing yesterday, and doubtless came into harbour lastevening. She beat up from St. Andero in an almost intredibly short time, considering the state of the wind, having left on Saturday last, at which time Bilboa was said to be invested by the Carlistt. The Pique did not— as was expected she would— bring any of the British Legion, an overland Despatch having ordered her to leave the North of Spain with all possible haste for this Port, w h e r e she will embaik the remainder of the 93d Regiment and other troops for Canada ; the discretion being left with Captain BOXER to make Halifax or St. John's. ( From the Hampshire Telegraph of Saturday.) The New Pork packet President, Captain Chadwick. sailed yesterday for NewJCork Captain Calder and Mr. Case, of the 32d Regiment, went passengers in her. The Apollo frigate is ordered to be got ready as a troop ship with the utmost expedition ; 300 men are employed upon her. One side will be fitted up on a plan suggested by Mr. Blake, the master builder of this yard, and the other side in the usual manner. The Sovereign transport, Lieutenant Nash, Agent, is ordered to fit with all haste and take in provision for two hundred men whom she will embark at Cork, most probably to augment the troops in the West Indies, weakened by the regiment which the Cornwallis will convey to Halifax. ( From the Liverpool Times of Tuesday.) Wo understand that the following officers will embark this day on board the packet ship Cambridge, for New- York, to join the army in Canada:— Major- Gen, Clitherow, Capt. Clitherow, Col. Tavlor. Col. Marshall, Col. Campbells ( two. l Col. Hall. Colonel Turner, Col. Nickle, Major Wingfield, 32d, Major J. Young, aod Lieut. Meade EXPECTED ARRIVALS FROM CANADA. We give In this number a detailed Report of the trials of the Glasgow Cotton Spinners at Edinburgh, of which we stated the result on Tuesday, accompanied by a description of the Hellish Combination in which it originated. We give also in the present number the report of a trial which took place in Dublin on Thursday last, offour persons for a violent assault, arising out of Combination, on a poor man, and his wife, in which a conviction was also had, ahd the parties sentenced to a like punishment with those convicted in Scotland— Seven Years' Transportation ; and we add to these, from our Northern Cotemporaries, the Belfast Whig nfld Ulster Times, and from another, nearer to us, the Wa. terford Chronicle, accounts of disgraceful and yet unexpiated outrages which have been committed in these several establishments, for having sinned against the laws which the Printers' Union have thought pioper to make in defence of what they call their rights. The reasonable, thinking, and intelligent part of the Public must read ths accounts of all these proceedings, not lightly but attentively ; not to kill time, but to weigh well and ponder upon the dreadful cousequences which are likely to spread, if these combinations to kill and maim, and destroy property, at ths beck and bidding of a comparatively few secret instigatori, be not denounced, before the perpetration of new crimes swells the already terrible catalogue of murders and other unjustifiable outrages committed. The blood creeps, and curdles and recoils at the deeds done, and procured to be done— for money— in Glasgow, as detailed in the trial of the Cotton Spinners. A secret Committee sitting to mark out Vlctimi, which it doomed to death, for the high crime against its decrees, of working under prices which it fixed upon labour. The daughter of a Widow Macphcrson was selected by this sanguinary gang to be murdered, for going to work in tho Mill of Mr. Dunlop, after a " strike" had taken place. and the bloody messengers went to perform their work ; but, by mistake, they hatcheted the mother, instead of the daughter ! The monsters then got their pay, and they were sent to America at the expense of the Trade. The names of these blood- hounds are given, and the Government of the Country will not do its duty if it do not send to the United States in quest of them. The Government of that free country will aid the messengers, and give up, if found, the hired assassins and murderers who should not get a refuge or an asylum in any Country. Then there are told the assassination!, perfected in several instances, of men whose fate these villains had decided on, and incomplete in others, from accident, but from no lack of intention to do the bloody work. Peruse, reader, and peruse attentively, the attacks on M'QUARRIE and GRAHAM, and go then to where one of the miscreants is described as having gone to the Committee ofthe Association to get his hire of £ 20. Obseve there, how it was necessary that he should give evidence of his having been employed, and done his business, and that having produced one THOMAS PATTERSON, tbe Committee were satisfied with his testimony, and awarded the full sum to the claimant. Accounts follow of other murders and outrages, to the latest which was perpetrated, of a Cotton Spinner of the name of JOHN SMITH, on the 23d of July last. The narrative is appalling, and the long continued existence of such a death- dealing Association in the midst of a large town like Glasgow is truly marvellous. That it was in communication with Dublin is proved beyond all doubt. After the prisoners' declarations were read, a number of writings found on them at the time of their apprehension were read — and among other letters, the following one from the panel ( prisoner) M'Neil, who acted as Secretary of tbe Association, to the other prisoner, Peter Hackett, Treasurer ofthe Association— Glasgow, 28th May, 1837. DEAR S I R — I am truly happy that you have at last received and answered one of our letters, for we have been these eight days past in the firm belief that our letters was intercepted. Your first letter is dated as far back as the 13th, and the second and last the 26th— butenough. Henry Dunn wrote you on Sunday the 21st, enumerating the various items that had been paid to England, Johnstone, & c. & c. But you apparently have nol received it. I will therefore give you the gross amount. GRAND REFORM BANQUET IN DUBLIN. TITHES. We had not space in our last number to accompany the report of the proceedings at the Grand Bunquet given to the Members for the City and County of Dublin at the Theatre in Hawkin's- Street, on Thursday last, with a few observations wrhioh we were desirous of offering. As a demonstration of the union and cordiality which exist among3t the Irish Reformers, and of " their determination," to adopt the language of the Noble Chairman, Lord CHARLESIONT that the Reform Bill shall not remain a dead letter upon the Statute Book, but that its powers shall be carried into full operation," this grate assemblage was every thing that could be desired, combining rank, wealth, talent and intelligence. There were of course adverted to, and commented on. in the several eloquent speeches delivered on this occasion, the prominent topics which now engage the attention of the Irish Public. We desire, however, to confine ourselves to the one which we regard as ofthe greatest importance ;— we mean the Tithe question. The Country is now in a frightful position with regard to this subject. The Million Loan had discharged the claim for Tithe REVIEW OF THE CORN TRADE DURING THE PAST . WBF. K. From tbe Murk- Lane Express of Monday. The unprecedented rapidity of the change in tbe weather from the genial mildness of spring to the intense severity of winter, from a thermometer at 55 one week, and the quicksilver standing another at 14 in the morning, and in the northern suburbs at II, or 21 degrees Fahrenheit below, freezing, has created not only a material alteration in the aspect of the country, but likewise in the markets ; and has caused the trade generally to assume a mor » decided character of improvement earlier iq the season, than could have been anticipated. All the leading country markets are fully Is dearer for Wheat, and summer corn 6d to Is higher, with a tendency on the part of the farmers to hold at the improvement. In Scotland, the transition in the weather has been equally remarkable. The first week of the New Year we hesr of Peas in bloom, the Whin bushes, or Furze, in blossom, and butterflies • porting their gay wings even in the northern districts of the kingdom. and now snow is covering tbe ground, and nature frozen up. The farmers, convinced of the deficiency in the acreable produce of Wheat, are still demanding higher rales, and the article mu( t be noted fully Is per qr. dearer, with little disposition to quit their stocks of new, those of old being exhausted. Inferior Barley does not however recover its depression , but Oats are still held back by the farmers, who, aware of the exhausted stats of the stocks, and the new produce by no means supefabundant, are not disposed to accept the low offers now current, and thercup to November 1833. Four years have since elapsed, and a very i fore consumers at the northern ports as we noticed lart- week. aro large proportion ofthe Tithe for that entire period i. now due, ! l n i n s t " . n c e s entering into purchases of' Irish Oats free 6 n board'; . . , . , , ! presenting an entirely new feature in the trade, as the imports which the claimants, Lay and Clerical, are endeavouring to obtain t from the Sister Kingdom have hitherto been confined to the wespayment of through means of legal proceedings. tef " portion of Scotland.

In such a state of things the country looks anxiously for every indication which can be discovered of any prospect of Parliamentary or Legislative relief In the eloquent speech which Mr. O'CONNELI. delivered on Thursday evening, after referring to the several grievances to be redressed, he came to the last and most important measure which the Irish Reformers required, namely, the final and total extinction of Tithes. " Nothing less. — nothing but that would do. Tithes must be abolished. They would no longer bear this oppressing burthen- He admitted, however, that the present possessors of Tithes, on their abolition, are entitled to compensation. The Irish people should be redeemed from that badge of slavery which they alone, of all the nations of the earth, are obliged to bear. He believed that the present Ministry were meditating, and will carry into effect, something that will satisfy the country, and be as an adamantine link between the two portions ofthe empire." Lord CHARLEMONT, at a subsequent stage of the proceedings, when proposing as a toast " Lord Melbourne and her Majesty's Ministers," said, " that of the several topics referred to in the course of the evening, that of paramount interest was Tithes. In all that, had fallen from his Honorable Friend on the subject he concurred. He was not in the secret; but he believed that the suggestions contained in the letter of his learned friend for getting rid of this impost would be taken into careful consideration and that on this vexatious sulyeet. as well as nchers, that JUSTICE WOULD BE DONE TO IRELAND." Mr. O'CoNNKt. i.' n letters, detailing the plan referred to by Lord CHARLEMONT, are still, we believe, in the public recollection There is in the following tabular form a condctised view of it, which will render it generally intelligible.

Oats are firm with a tendency on the part of holders to demand advanced terms for shipment. Freights still remain high. The supplies of wheat to Mark Lane during the week, have been very limited, and consisiting of samples from Essex, jtent, and Suffolk, which were mostly cleared off on Monday ; Jfie weather continuing to freeze with a Northerly wind, induced' millers to purchase the few remaining parcels " on hand, and some few lots ex- granary nt an advance of Is per. qr; and on Friday the continued frost having stopt all inland water comnnntoatfrih, and created much floating ice on the Thames, the usual delivery of grain ex- ship was impeded, and salestherefbre w( « re canfitwd " to the limited stocks in granary ; millers, who were necesitous purchasers, being compelled to accede to another Is advance, majcing wheals fully2s, per qi-. dearer than onMonday. with a firmer aspect perv « d- Ing tbe trade than has been experienced for som time, as the increas ing prices emanated more from legitimate than speculative cauict, founded on chances more borne out hy reason than theoretical oph nion. and which we will take an opportunity of descanting ou next next week . , - Bonded Wheat maintains full quotations, hut no actual isles were reported, and the shipments are confined to a few hundred quarters to New York and Baltimore.

Bonded Flour met more attention for shipment to the West Indies at 24s. to 25s.. and holders demanded on Friday higher rates, Tbe receipts of Barley have been considerable, amounting near • ly to 2I, 0Q0 qrs., but factors having made arrangements to hare all the Barley landed which was left unsold, the number of samples offering on Friday was limited ; and few sales took place, hieher prices being generally demanded, and which, with a continuance of frost, will be mote than realized, as the stocks are almost nominal, though the distillers having latterly bought feeely will not require any immediate supply, anil the receipts latterly of ship Malt have been also consider able. ln the Malt trade no variation but prices steady. The importation of Oats has been moderate, not exceeding 9,884 qrs. of which 6,978 qrs. are from Ireland. The state of the river excluding much chance of purchasers working the cargoes , the trade on Friday was almost nominal, Factors demanding M, to Is. pcrqr, advance on Monday's rates. Considering tbe very small quantity of Oats now in granary, and the probable closing of the navigation of the Thames, it is not unlikely that extreme rates may be temporarily obtained for the'article ; and substitutes are likely to be employed to meet the consumption, even with a comparatively shortened duration of the frost; There have been few Oats offering direct from Ireland, an d prices may be considered nominal, the only business passing of any consequence being in re- sales and on speculations. We quote Limericks 10s, the same from the Shannon po-' s'; Wrsstports 1 Os; Derrys los 3d to los 9d. according to time of shipment; Galways 9s to 9s 3d; Newry, from its contiguity to Liverpool and Gloucester being l i s 3d to l i s 6d, but for London are not worth mora than lis.

S P A I N . FATAL ACCIDENTS ON THE SERPENTINE. LONDON. MONDAY, JULY 15— The fineness of the weather yesterday attracted a large number of persons to the parks. So early as eight o'clock skating had commenced on the Serpentine. About 12 the several walks leading to the river presented an almost unbroken line of pedestriam. Up to 2 o'clock there were not so many persons on the ice as might have been expected, although on the borders the number was immense. After that hour the arrivals were in crowds. Up to four o clock all had gone on well and the persons on the ice seemed lulled into perfect security.. About the time stated, when there could scarcely have been less than from 11,000 to 12,000 persons on the ice and banks, a sudden crash of Ihe ice, succeeded by heart- rending shrieks and cries of " Boat, boat I" announced that an accident had occurred.— The excitement at the moment was dreadful ; the persons on the ice rushed hurriedly from the spot, which was near the centre of the river, about half way between the waterfall and the Humane Society receiving- house, and those o. i land crowded down lo the edge of the ice calling on those thereon to come off. Winnott, one of the society's men nearest to the spot, with his brother, instantly pushed the flat- bottomed ice boat to tho fissures, at which time report states there were no less than on'e hundred persons immersed in the water, but the society's men estimate the number at about forty, more than half of whom quickly extricated themselves, and hastened, drenching wet, to their respective residences. The first person whom Winnott succeeded in dragging into the boat was a young female, with whom he instant , ly propelled his boat towards the receiving- house, but he had not moved it many yards before the spectators crowded round it to take a view of the unfortunate creature, when their weight occasioned a fissure in the ice, and ths boat, the society's men, and about twenty persons were thrown into the water, among whom was an individual, now no more, who had been most active in aslasting Winnott, and in throwing the " Manby lines" over the chasm, by which many persons were enabled to rescue themselves from a watery grave. The scene at that moment is indescribable, the eagerness of those on land to obtain a view greatly retarding the operation's of the society's men. ln a short time thirteen persons were got out of the water and conveyed to the cdiving house, but the crowd surrounding was so great, that the police were compelled to use their truncheons in right earnest before a passage could be cleared for them. They were instantly attended to by Messrs. Woolley, senior aud junior, the medical officers to the institution, who in a short time pronounced eight of the persons fit to proceed to their homes, which they immediately did. The remaining five were, however, in a itate of insensibility, and they were immediately placed m hot baths, while every other means of restoring animation . Were adopted. In three of the cases these efforts were successful : but in the remaining two, the young female before mentioned, who wa! a very pretty girl about 17 years of age, and an individual ( an Irishman about 45 years of age) who fell a victim to his endeavours to rescue her, the vital spaik had fled for ever. It is leported that other persons are still under the ice. Great foars are also entertained that John Meredith, one of the Society's icemen, has also fallen a victim to his exertions in saving the others, as at a late hour last night be was still missing. ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS. From the report forwarded to the Secretary thii morning, it appears that there were 18 individuals rescued by the society's men. Of these 13 were brought in an almost lifeless state to the Receiving House, of whom 11 were resuscitated ; tho remaining 5 narrowly escaped with a wetting only. The bodies of the two unfor" tunate persons whom it was found impossible to revive, have been taken to Mount- street workhouse. That of the girl has been claimed by her father, a respectable gardener near Kensington, but the man has not been recognised by his friends. NON- INTERVENTION BY FRANCE. The French Ministry have succeeded by a conliderable majority in the Chamber of Deputies in getting rid of tho Quadruple Treaty. The effect of this decision will be to destroy the power of France in the Peninsula, while it will certainly give a new impulse to the partizans of the Pretender, The Spanish Government, alarmed for the preservation of the island of Cuba, has ordered a squadron, composed of a frigate , a corvette, a brig, to sail immediately from Ferrol for the Havannah. The present Captain- General, Tacon, is to be replaced by- General Espeleta. <£ 11.881 6 I have given you the above almost wholly from memory of the document that was drawn out and forwarded to you by Henry Dunn. I sincerely sympathise on the harassing nature of your mission. So strong was the opinion that your letters were intercepted, that the committee was to send off a man to Manchester on Monday, if your letter was not received by that time. I iuformed you o f a few cheepers in Graham's shop, talking of giving up two sizes. A few in Dunlop's and Barrowficld. The committee, happy to say, they have given up . the subject entirely. Charles M'Kie ( as a matter of course) led on the cheeper ; but all is quiet for the time being We have had a world of difficulties to contend against these two week! past, for want of cash We were only able to pay 3s 6d on Saturday, being disappointed in cash from Ireland to the amount of £ 100. What has become ofthe £ 4 0 that Patrick mentioned ttie Manchester Spinner! was taking their three general votes upon, or the sum that was looked for eight days ago ? I am afraid that we need not place much dcpendauce on England.

DEATH OF E A R L E L D O N . — W e regret to announce the death of the above venerable nobleman, which took place at his residence, No. 1. Hamilton- place, Piccadilly, on Saturday afternoon, at four o'clock, in the 87tli year of his age. We believe his lordship was attacked with no particular complaint, but sunk under a gradual decay of nature. Lord Eldon, with the exception of Lord Lynedoch, was the most aged member of the House of Peers. The annexed letter was received by Messrs. LECKY & BEALE, from the Admiralty, and is only a just tribute to those Gentlemen, for the zeal and ability with which ihey, as Agents to the St. George Steam Packet Company, at all limes accommodate the Public interest. " Admiralty, Jan. 9, 1838. " GENTLEMEN... Captain Pring, of Her Majesty's Ship, Inconstant, ha ing in his letter of the tith instant reported, that Captain Moriartyof the Juno steam vessel, with the sanction of his own - ers, the St. George Steam Packet Company, had offered his assistance o tow the Inconstant out of Cork Harbour, of which Capt. Pring had availed himself, l am eommanded by my Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, to express their Lordships thanks for the assistance given, " I am Ge ntlemen, your most obedient humble servant, " JOHN BARROW. " Ths St. George Steam Packpt Company, Cork." Glasgow Reformer, a Journal differing widely from the Liberator wbich, from what appears above, lived, to use the well- applied words of the D U S L I N EVENING POST, " upon the plunder of the Scotch and the Irish tradesmen— and while receiving their contributions on the pretext of advocating their cause, has destroyed the characters of many, blasted the prospects of more, starved the families of not a few, and almost placed the necks of its victims in the halter. From the Glasgow Reformer. " After an unexampled trial of eight days. the jury havo returned a verdict finding the special charge applicable to the murder of John Smith not proven, but finding all the prisoners guilty of the general charges of illegal combination and conspiracy, and act! of violence, & c. & c. This is precisely the result we all along anticipated. At the present moment, and having incurred the fatigue of attending personally to the whole details of the trial from first to last. it is impossible for us to do more than refer to the limited report of the proceedings in this day's paper; but we call the attention of the public to a pamphlet already published, giving the whole details of the trial, and extending to upwards of 140 pages. Yet, although that pamphlet gives a faithful report of the whole proeeedingi, it is almost impossible for any one to foim any correct idea of the proceedings themselves, without having been present in court, seeing the tone and manner of the witnesses, and judging of the effect of tho evidence as it fell from their lips, & c. One thing is obvious from the trial, tbat a most dangerous and alarming conspiracy existed ; and that the working classes, on the pretence of the rights of labour, as was most emphatically observed by tile Lord Advocate, have heen fleeced by their leaders, in one shape or another, to the enormous extent of £ 12,000 by tins " Association,'' for purposes, we are confident the working classes themselves were not till now aware of. This is wholly independent of the enormous sums lost to the working classes themselves on the head of wages; and wholly independent ofthe loss occasioned to the masters and others, some idea of which we have attempted to give in another form. But we reserve all further commentary on these matters till next Saturday. At present we may be permitted to express our earnest hope that tbe working claises in this important district will have their eyes opened to the secret and atrocious designs of some of their leaders. They will see what enormous pickings some of them have had under various entries. The document found in Hacket's repositories, which we have this day published, will speak trumpettongued. The real honest operatives of Glasgow, anil in other places, will rejoice that tbey are not likely to be involved again in anv unhappy " strikes," so prejudicial to themselves ; and that they are at the same time released from the operations of this secret " Association,' the management of which has been attended with greater tyranny, despotism, and crime than we had ever imagined. In fact, the honest operatives of Glasgow may be said to have achieved their own emancipation by the result of this trial. Let none of them suppose that we exult at it Let none of them — no, not even the very # orst of them— suppose that we are their enemies. They ought rather to say that we have been their best friends, for all along proclaiming the truth— not pampering to their passions, but warning them coolly and calmly of their folly ; and pointing out to them, as we have often done, the wicked delusions respecting these " strikes," which we knew had been instilled into them by unprincipled men, merely that they might dip their own hands deeper and deeper into the pockets of the starving operatives. And now we say, that after all these transactions are laid open to the eve of the public, and after the operatives of Glasgow, in particular, shall have had time to reflect upon them, we shall most willingly devote our energies, not to the injury of the working classes by any means, but to the maintenadce of their just rights, and to the advancement of social order, tranquillity, anc) permanent happiness among them. ment. Like the Dog in the Manger, they will neither exert themselves or suffer others to do so. If an Agricultural Society is got up, few of tliem will support it; if National Education is adpressed in argument upon their own plans and projects, they give about as good a reason for their proceedings as the schoolboy who was caught smoking, and said he did so for the purpose of curing his corns. To exemplify the foregoing observations I beg to call attention to a late publication on Rural affairs— Agrieola's Letters a work of high merit, suited to the highest capacities, but more especially adapted and intended ( or the instruction of working Farmers. Will it be believed, Mr. Editor, that this valuable little Book, ( which you had the credit of first giving to the public, and which was read with such avidity), is now in its improved form, to be cried down by the Tory Landlords of the Country as unfit for distribution amongst their tenantry, notwithstanding the excellent practical directions and the sound moral precepts it contains ' twill it be believed that while tliey admit its merits, they prohibit its circulation, because, forsooth, the Author had the manliness to beard them, by dedicating his Book to Ireland's best friend, Lord M » LGRAVE 1 But Ayricola may content himself under their displeasure. He wrote for the Farmers, ( the real gentlemen, as a remarkable personage once styled them) and to whom could he address his Letters with so much propriety as to the first Viceroy those very Farmers ever looked up to for protection and justice 1 Agricola may console himself with the reflection that he has done a service to his countrymen : that lie has still farther enhanced that service, and insured ihe popularity of his book, bv paying a just tribute to the merits of a Nobleman whose h ighest praise is the offence his equal and merciful administration of the laws has given to that parly who so long and so fatally wielded power in this unfortunate ( because ill- governed) country. But, thanks to our present Rulers, Ireland is improving— the schoolmaster is abroad— the Iron times of Gothic ignorance and vassalage on the one side are passing quickly away ; whilst on the other the halcyon days of exclusive power and privilege are gone for ever. FMucation is creeping into the cabin ; and all that seems now wanting to raise this to a level with the siste r countries, is a good system of husbandry. The Pli'dantropiu who, like Agricola, gives his time and hi « talents gratuitously to remedy the greatest want his native land labours under, surely deserves not only commendation but support, particularly when his efforts in so good a cause are attempted to be crushed by a party who have done so litl le themselves in the way of amelioration. I trust,- Sir, the liberal Press— the leadets of opinion among the Farming classes will take up the matter. They ought to counlenance and recommend this truly useful publication ; it should be put into the hands of every person possessing an acre of ground. . It should bemadeaClass Book in our National Schools; it is indeed a performance equally creditable to its author and beneficial to the community, and, as such, I am confident will find perusal through the length and breadth ofthe land. 1 am, Sir, your humble servant, Bandon, Jan. 10,1838. A FARMER. Q U A I N T C O U R T S H I P . — T h e celebrated Dr. Doddridge once wrote thus to a lady whom he afterwards married :—" You have made a greater advance upon my heart in a few hours than I intended to have allowed you in many weeks ; indeed you have possessed yourself of so much room in it, that, unless you consent to become a tenant for life, our parting will be exceedingly troublesome, and it will be a long while before I shall get it into repair again."

W e request reference to our circular of Friday last; since then the frost has been most intense, and some snow has fallen, so that the navigation of the river has become so dangerous that it mav be said to have ceased from that day, and very little was done on Saturday ; most vessels endeavouring, for safety, to get alongside quays, or into docks, where their cargoes may be. delivered by land. Samples of grain so situated, also , of granary parcels were the only ones offered for sale to- day, and held at an advance of 2s. to 3s. per qr. on wheat, and Is. on oats ; but owing to the increased expenses of wharfage, & c., and difficulty of moving even by land, the business transacted has been very trilling ; we shall therefore, not trouble those friends per post to whom yse have not anything new to communicate since our last respects J 0 H N A S H L 1 N a' « l SONS, Corn Factors, 50, Mark lane.

PTMIE Grounds on which this School claims the * aHention of the Public are respectfully submitted to their eonsidei ation in the following statement. Being situa. ed in one of the most picturesque parts of Ireland, its healthfulness is proved by the fact, that, in the goodness of the D I V I N E BEING, not an instance of death has occurred amongst its youthful inmates since its foundation. The house, heretofore extensive, having been lately very considerably improved and enlarged, by the addition of several apartments, there will be the most complete accommodation in every department, calculated to secure increased regularity. comfort, and good order. The Assistant Masters, being in the proportion of one TO EVERY TEN puriLs, are of the first order, long experience, and distinguished Collegiate character, whosemoral deportment and conscientious discharge of duty merit the highest praise. The quality and extent of Instruction are most decidedly not inferior to any other Establishment whatever; with reasonable permanence, and tolerable capacity and application on the part of the pupil, this has been repeatedly acknowledged. The consideration of the Sacred Scriptures, in which are daily exercises, holds its proper place, and is further carried into effect under the occasional superintendence of the CLERGY or the C A - THEDRAL. Immediately adjoining a neat and Spacious School Room » re extensive Play- Grounds and Ball Court. During Country excersions the Pupils are always accompanied by one of the Gentlemen. There are at present VACANCIES FOR A FEW BOARDERS; whose Moral conduct the Principal is enabled personally to guard, and to apply such observation as necessity may require.

MARK LANE, MONDAY, JAN. 15. SiRce this day week we have experienced verv severe weather and hard frost, accompanied with a rather a considerable fall of snow, which has nearly stopped the navigation of our River ; in consequence, the business doing in the corn trade has been trifling tor some days past, and to- day it was nearly at a stand, except tor Corn m Granary or such as could be readily got at, but the transactions were to no extent, but confined to sales to necessitous buyers for their immediate wants ; on such business an advance of 2s. per qr. on wheat, and 3s to 4s on new, and 2s to 3s per sack on Flour, and Is per qr. on Oats.... Giles. Son, Sf Co. M A R K L A N E , MONDAY, 1st MONTH, 1 5 t h , 1838. The severe frost, which we have had the past week, has very much interfered with trade, and as the navigation of the river is nearly stopped, business is chiefly confined to parcels of grain in granary. ° Wheat has been in demand through the week, and is this morning 2s per qr. dearer than this day se'nnight ; and we have a demand for Flour, which is on the wharfs at an advance of 2s per sack. In Barley we have a limited trade doing and without alteration in our currency: The supplies of Oats are small, owing to the wind having been contrary for the arrival of vessels from Ireland. Oats in granary, or where vessels are alongside a wharf are Is. per qr. dearer.— Hunter and Coventry. LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET. MONDAY, JAN. 15... The weeks imports of Oats are to a large amount; with this exception tbe arrivals to our corn market have been light, and the Wheat has found ready sale at fully the quotations of this day se'nnigbt. good Irish red has brought 7s. 8d." to 7s. lOd. choice 8s. per 7o ibs. Flour has also sold on rather better teims. In Oats only limited business has been done, the general runs have been rather easier to buy ; 2s 7^ d to 2s 814 has been taken for good mealing qualities, but choice Newrv are still held at 2s 9Jd to 2s Iod per 45lbs. Oatmeal has met » stow sale at 20s to 24s 6d per 24olbs. A " few lota of Scotch malting Barley have arrived, for which the importers are asking 4s 7d to 4s 9d per 60ibs Beans and Peas a* last noted. One or two cargoes of Wheat in bond have been sold at prices fully equal to last week's and a little extra superfine sweet Flour has brought 27s per brl. TUESDAY, Two O'CLOCK— Notwithstanding the closing or the canals we had a good many Country Millers at this morning'* market, who, as well as the Town Dealers, bought pretty freely of Wheat at an advance of fully 2d per 701bs. on the quotations of this day se'nnight. Flour was also Is to 2s per sack dearer. Oats and Oatmeal were held for late rates, but very little done in either. DUBLIN CORN EXCHANGE, JAN. 16. The canals not being yet free for the general trade, there was » very small supply of grain at this day's market. Wheat was sold at an advance of about 6d per barrel. Oats and barley were a shade dearer: White wheat, 30s to 32s ; millers' red, 28s to 30s6d • Inferior, 25s to 27s ; barley, 13s 6d to 15s; bere l i s 6d to 12s6dS; oats, 9s to l i s ; raps, 16s to 18s; oatmeal, 10s to I2s « d ; second flour, 16s 6d to 17s6d.

J A N . 15. Owing to the weather having become exceedingly severe, the pastures very bare of winter herbage, and the pricea of dry fodder very high, many farmers and graziers have sent hither, this morning, a large quantity of store stock,- which formed a large portion of the Bullock supply. Another cause baa likewise tended very materially to increase the quantity of store stock offering, viz, the apprehensions that many persons entertain of their winter stock of pabulum being exhausted, particularly should the present inclement weather continue for any length, of time, Hence, the supply of beasts in this day's market, was, for tlie time of year, great, on account of which the trade with Beef was exceedingly dull, and a depression of full 2d per8lbs was submitted to. it being with much difficulty lhat 4s 4d per 81bs could be realised for the very finest Scots. There was, likewise, a great number of Sheep offering— it amounting to 30.710— the general quality of which was tolerably prime, the sale for Mutton was very heavy, but no variation in prices was noticed. Wehad a very small supply of Calves on sale, whilst the sale was tolerably steady, at enhanced rates. All kinds of Pork, thesupply of which was good, went off briskly at an advance of 2d per 81bs Not a single fat Bullock or Sheep arrived by sea from Scotland, for although three vessels laden with Stock have been for some davs expected, they have not yet come to their moorings— it being supposed that on account of the large quantity of ice which is floating in the Thames, they have not been able to make their way with safety up the river. LIVERPOOL, MONDAY, JAN. 15... Owing to the severe frost during the past week there has been a good demand for Butter, and an advance of 3s to 4s per cwt. has been realized on all descriptions.

The prisoners, Thomas Hunter, Peter Hackett, Richard M'Neill, James Gihh, and William M'Lean, were charged with an unlawful conspiracy, by means of illegal oaths, assaults, threatening letters, incendiarism, and murder, to deter certain parties from following their lawful callings; that in order to carry this object into effect, they appointed a select committee, the names of which were kept secret; that under the direction and management of this secret committee, tbe four first named defendants instigated M'Lean to shoot a cotton spinner named John Smith on the 23d of July last, with a pistol, in consequence of which he died ihortly afterwards. A great body of evidence was given to prove the nature of the combination of cotton- spinners at Glasgow, and their habitual resort to illegal oaths and acts of violence of the worst description, the nature of which will be collected from the evidence of James Murdoch, a working cotton spinner, who had himself been a member of the Combination. James Murdoch, Cotton spinner.— The court renewed to this witness the assurance of protection. He entered the association of cotton- spinners at Glasgow in 1816. On entering an oath was put to him. Does not remember the words ; but it was di vided into twobranches— first, an oath of secrecy. Means hy that to keep secret his taking the oath. After the administrator ofthe oath had explained Ihe benefit of taking it, then the other part was taken, to abide by the majority in all cases of the trade. Was to keep that and the proceedings of the body secret. There was a Bible used in administering the oath. It was put under the right oxter during the time the oath was taken. There was a word used, . it was Ashdod. It is in the 20th chap. Isaiah, 1st verse. There were signs used, . witness paid little attention to them, but their use was, ( or each to be known to the other members of the • association, l'here has been a change made in the word and oath since that time. To the best of his recollection. it was in 1822. The new word was Armageddon. That is in Ilev. xvi. 16. Both words were administered together. The change in the oath was a great deal lo tbe worse. . more vicious in ils nature. It introduced something with respect to the punishment or abhorrence of nobs. Understands by nobs a man that goes into work at a reduction of wages during a strike. A person may also nob hv revealing the names of the secret committee. . he is considered the greatest nob. Speaking to any one who reveals the secret committee is also considered nobbing. It is between nine and ten years since witness was last present at the administration of an oath, and he considers the oath he then heard administered was worse than either ofthe others. This last oath was worse, because there was something with respect to masters in it, that was not in either of the others. There was a factory started in Broomward, and the proprietor filled it with women instead of men, and the object of the secret committee was fo get the women put out of it. Mr. Dunlop was proprietor of this mill. The secret committee had a power exclusive of the general body, and Ihey could not he controuled by the body. It consisted of three members ; they were appointed by taking a man's name out of each shop in the trade belonging to the association, . means each factory. One of the district or finance committee went round with a hat, and lifted these names from each delegate, and put ihem in his pocket. Then the secret select committee was considered to be on. It jsasleft to tbe finance committee fo take three of their own number, or out of the names in the hat, so that it hould not be known to the trade who they were. When thus ppoiuted, the secret committee had the whole power ofthe whole money belonging to the association The trade expected he secret committee would put the women out ofBroomward shop . . The first attempt was made to set fire to it. Knows it from the public papers, and from the schedule money paid for it. These schedules were handed through the trade every fortnight to show the outlay and income. This money was called collicri/. It was a phrase perfectly well known in the trade. Understands it means attempting to burn. The secret committee did not succeed in their attempt to get the women out out of the mill at that time. There were several other acts of violence done under that secret committee. Two men were sent to America at the expense of the trade, that witness considered had committed an act of violence. It was a woman's house that was entered in ihe morning in Calton, in Pollock's Land, and her life was taken. Her name was Macpherson, a widow, and she had a daughter in Mr. Dunlop's mill. The mother's life was taken, as he considered, in mistake for the daughter Could not exactly say what year this was, it might be 1820 or 1821. The two men sent to America were Paton Ounlnp and Barney M'Kenay. They had been members of the Association- Knows they were sent at the expense of the association, and saw their names in the schedule, and the monev paid for emigration paid to them. Could not say exactly what sum was paid to ( hem. No one knew if ihey were in the concern at Widow Macpherson's, but it was generaliy believed in the trade, and witness never heard any other reason assigned for advancing money to them to emigrate. There was a man shot at and wounded, named M'Quarrie, before Graham was shot at That was in the year 1820. ' ITiere were three different payments made on account of M' Quarrie's shooting. The paj ment's were made to Andrew Dunagh, Owen O'Callaghan, and Stephen Campbell. Tbey were paid for shooting M'Quarrv, wlio was a nob. Since lhat time O'Callaghan was transported for shooting at John Orr. in Paisley. Stephen Campbell remains still in Ban's, Bridgeton. In. the schedules the money was entered as strike colieriesso much, and several things were put together. This Ban was proprietor of a mill that struck work at the time. Does not recollect the sum. There was no names in the schedule. Witness was an eye witness to the shooting. Saw the thing done, and then saw this mentioned in the books. Has reason to believe Ihey were paid for it. because Campbell told him so. It was Campbell who shot M'Quanie. Thomas Lochray, and James Esdale were present also along with me. Dunagh and O'Callaghan weie with Campbell and Ilenry M'Connell. This was in the Green at Glasgow. Met Lochray in thefore street at Bridgelon, who fold him there was to " be an attack made on thenobs at the scaling of lian s mill. We went down tothe Green to see the works scale. Scaling means dismissing for the day. There were a good many spinners gathered together, standing in a hollow near an entrance to the street that leads to Ban's mill. Slopped there lor a little lime till llie work stopped, and the nobs came down the street. There were two brothers, named Carr, took along by the Green Dyke, going to the town; and M'Quarrie entered the windles near the monument. Dunagli walked two or three steps across the Green after the Carrs, and fired a pistol. The shot did not take effect. M'Quarrie came along the Serpentine- walk ; Stephen Campbell fired a pistol at M'Quarrie. The shot wounded M'Quarrie, but he did not fall. Did not expect this when he went to the Green. Expected lhat sortie sort of disturbance would take place of a different nature. Had no reason to believe it was expected by ihose who were with him. There WSB no trial about this mailer. It was in the afternoon, in the summer season, in clear sunshine. M'Quarrie recovered of his wound: Witness gave no information of this matter, because he was afraid of similar consequences. Campbell was a member of the association. There might have been an investigation into the shooting of M'Quarrie . . there was 3001. of reward offered for information of these and several assaults. Remembers Ibe shooting of one John Graham. About that time was a member of the secret committee of the association. At that time we acted openly. This was after ihe shooting of Graham. A disputetonk place about the shooting of Graham, and they appointed a- committee to act openly tothe trade only, so as all the Irade might know who wasin ihe trade, lhat the like shooting might not take place again. Knows that one John Ktan was tried for shooting, and was transported for life, and was also publicly whipped at Glasgow. Knows, as a member of that committee, that payments were made. A referee of5 men was appointed toinvestisate a claim made by one Daniel Orr. Witne- s was one of the referees, . his claim was, that he was hired in a house at Barrowfield Toll, along with Kean, Lafferivand another man, to shoot Graham. He demanded 201. from the'committee of Ibe association for ibis. The referees ordered him to produce witnesses to prove that he had been hired. He produced one Thomas Patterson. Cannot say what office Patterson held at the time. The referees were satisfied with the evidence, and awarded Orr • lie sum. Knows that payments were made to Kean's wife after her husband's trial. She received 12s a week for 18 months out of the fundsof tbe association. Knows that payments were also made to Lafferty'swife. . she received the same sum for the same period- Latt'erty was sent to America after became out of Bridewell. He feot 18 months'imprisonment there. Came lo know these things as a member of the committee. Knowsthat the expensesof Kean's trial were paid by the association. Graham was shot in 1825, or early in 1826. Remembers a person narnedM'Did. Knows a payment was made to him of4116s for maltreating a woman namedMargaret Banks. It was in 1825orl8' 26. Banks was maltreated because she was a nob. Witness remained a member oftheselectcommilteefor two months as the committee was changed at that lime; has not been a member of committee of late. Kno* s something of the shooting at the house of a man named Brown One Walker wasaccuspd of lhat, and tried for it. It was in 1827. Walker was a member of tbe association. Remembers a talk among ihe members of the association about the defence of Walker. Was present at the conversation It was at a shop meeting.. ihe shop belonging to Mr. Hussey. This was before Walker's trial. It was proposed at the meeting to get persons lo swear that Wm. Brown had hired persons himself lo do it, They did not know then that Walker would plead guilty. When this proposal was made, witness knew tiiatit was false. Knows that Walker was tried, pleaded guilty, and was transported. Remembers the case of Carnie, a spinner. He had an eye burnt out of Iiis head with vitriol. He had been a nob, but was not at that time ; docs not recoiled the year. Saw schedules of aliment being paid to one Macdonald at that lime. There were four men, Macdrnald being one, brought on aliment for the burning ot Carnie. He received aliment because he fled en account of that business to a place called Catrine, in Ayrshire. Knows the prisoners at the bar. Hunter has been a member of t. he association about 18 years; Hackett since 1823 or 1824 ; M'Neill about 9years, Gibb about 12, and M'Lean about 10 or 12, to . witness's knowledge. There was a strike in April last.. M'Lean was not a member to his knowledge. Has seen M Lean at ihe Sohiu. ittee rooms calling on Hackelt. Being shown a document, he says tliatil is signed by the 4 prisoners, Huuter. Ilackett, M'N'eill and Gibb Does not know the handwriting. It is not in * he usual style of free lines. Considered from it that M'Lean and the four men bad been conjunct in something or other, that he needed to leave the counlry for it ; witness never saw such a line given anv other way. The secret committee have the power of gronting such lines, . they have such an absolute power. Knew several members ofthe association who acted as guards. Andrew Davidson and John Morrison. Never saw M'Lean acting as a guard Remembers the day when John Smith was shot. Saw M'Lean on that day down by Ihe Broomielaw : this was on tho fore part oflhe dav. James M'Donald and James or John Keith were with him. Saw Keith and M'Donald again in the evening, between six and seven, at the foot of Coburg- lane, in Laurieston, on the opposite side of the water. They were iust parting when witness saw them, and heard them agree to meet again that same evening, but could not say positively at what hour. Cross- examined.. Two people were present with witness when he saw M'Quarrie shot. Lochray had dropped the spinning. Lochray went home to Bridgeton after the shot, and Esdale and witness'kept a piece beyond M'Quarrie, following him on the green. Lochray was standing at witness's left side when Campbell fired. He was able to see the shot fired ; the part* had three pistols, . that is, O'Callaghan, Campbell, and Dunagh. O'Cal- j laglran did not fire the shot at the time ; he discharged it in the air as we were walking towards Rutherglen. It is nine or ten \ years ago since he last saw an oath administered. It was in j John Ewing's, High- street, Glasgow. Saw a certificate like that shown him about M'Lean at the time he was a member of committee in 1826, but none since. If a man were going to England he would get a certificate of that kind signed by the men of the shop. Once granted such a certificate, at least signed it along with the other members of the open select committee, in favcur of a man with a fictitious name, who had written for it from America. Witness always considered it was for Peter Dunlop, but cannot twear. Never saw any other certificate of that nature. Its use is to show that you are a good man, belonging to the association. Re- examined.. A member durst not inquire who were members ofthe secret committee, for it was a danger to do so ; and if an inquiry was made, or if any one named them, they would be nobbed. He considered himself imprisoned in August last for protection, not for any offence. Henry Cowan, cotton- spinner, examined by the SOLICITORGF. NF. HU.. . Is an operative spinner since 1814. Wasconnected with mills in Renfrewshire for some time... came to Lanarkshire in 1818. Joined the association at that time. Did not take an oath at Renfrewshire ; when half of it was administered he drew the handkerchief off his eves, and would not proceed farther with it. Never took an oath in Lanarkshire. Got quit oflhe oath by paying one pound into the trade. Recollects that some combustible was thrown into Hussev's mill sometime in May. One day instructions came to the mill that they should be all in their houses at eight o'clock ; and to have proof to that effect. This was after the combustibles were thrown. It was quite common for the members to ask each other if they had heard any news, and the answer was " No, nothing done yet." Expected to hear of some person being shot or maimed in some way or other, and was surprised at the long delay. Knew a person named Riddell. . was one of Hussey's shop.. his name was Thomas Riddell. Eemembers that Riddell and other four broke into a house where one Dnnochy was lodging, and took a pistol from him. This was reported next morning as a matter of news. Riddel! and the others fled at the time. Richard M'Manus, Thomas M'Caughan, and one Thomson were among them. Riddell was not a joined member of the association. Three of the others we'e. the got £ 3 . He was told so by the person who carried it. Riddell got an aliment when he was idle. Knows, because he brought out the aliment himself, and paid it to a person who was sent by Riddell for it. Was sent to M'Caughan's wife, to tell het to come and get her aliment, after her husband was off. Recollects the guards being appointed on Glasgow Green. Was present there. The guards usually met in the Green at night. There was always a captain there. One John Trotter was captain. He appointed a certain number to go to each mill where guards were to be put on. One Ilosser was sergeant when witness was on guard. Refused always after, and paid fines. Knows the prisoners at the liar— all except M'Lean. Knows they are members of the association. He has seen them attending meetings of it. Cross- examined, but nothing of importance elicited. Mr. Sheriff ALISON. . Has filled fhe office of sheriff for three vears. Had bis attention called to the strike of the cotton- spinners in Glasow on the 8th April last, and has been directed to it ever since incessantly. For the first fortnight after the strike took place there was no outrage at all. In the beginning of May, heard of meetings of large bodies of men in different places and parading the town ; and that they were assembling in great numbers at the manufactory at Oakbank, beyond Cowcaddens. The tumultuous assemblages had taken place before he saw them. The first he saw was on the 8th of May. There were he thinks about five or six hundred, or perhaps eight hundred, assembled on the road to Oakbank. He saw no assaults on that day. Found about 100 in the Oakbank manufactory itself, armed with large sticks. In consequence of what he saw he thought it necessary to have military assistance. Called on all the magis trates of Glasgow and suburbs, and a proclamation was agreed upon, calling upon the people to be quiet. Knew that about 20 or 30 new hands had been taken in at Oakbank, and saw several of them with blood upon their faces and clothes . at least ten or twelve of lliem. This was on the 8th of May. Gave instructions, at Mile- end, to endeavour to get hold of some prisoners; and a man was tried before the sheriff, and sentenced to three months' imprisonment. Here there was a man named Kiddy \ tried, who was defended hy the agent, for the association, Mr. ; Gemmell. On July 23d, first heard of a murderous assault against Smith, and saw the reward offered hy the masters... Smith died on the. Tuesday following in the infirmary, and an investigation was immediately began,.. hut some days elapsed. On the 28th he got information from Mr. Salmond, lhat certain individuals were willing to giving information if they were protected from danger, lie met the persons in an obscure place in Glasgow, and took their depositions.... They would not come by any means to the sheriff's- oflice. Got information that another individual named was to be murdered next dav. This was on Friday, and was told the committee met on Saturday. Went to their place of meeting, at the Blackboy Tavern, in" Gallowgate. Got a body of policemen, with Capl. MiIler at iheir head, and went to the committee- room exactly at ten at night. This was on tbe 29th July, and they fortunately got them altogether, and arrested them all at once. Fifteen men were arrested there, and three others were arrested afterwards, at the room where the guard committee met. The prisoners, excepting M'Lean, were among those so arrested, . they were all taken at the Black Boy. Alex. Arthur-, manager of the Adelphi mill, provad thatafter the strike in April last the new hands were molested. Jo/ in Bryson, manager of Mitchell and Go's mill, proved that after the strike Ihe proprietors were obliged to put guards on the mill. He admitted, however, that the prisoner M'Neill was always a steady, well- behaved man as far as lie knew. The declarations of the prisoner M'Neill were then read— to the effect that although secretary of the supply committee, he was not aware of the existence of a guard or secret committee, and knew nothing ot the resolution lo appoint a prosecuting committee. Henry Gavin and Thomas Clerke, engravers, testified to the signature " Richard M'Neill, being in the same handwriting in several of the seized documents. Several letters addressed to Peter Ilacket then in England were here read.— They weresigued by the prisonerM'Neil. One of theinjcontained an account of sums paid by the committee, among which was 9001, or 1,0001. paid to the Glasgow Liberator for advocating " strikes." Thomas Donoghy, cotton- spinner, proved that his house was broken into one night in July last,. upon which one of ihe assailant party two or three times declared that if he could get in he would tear the nob b— r's guts out. Olher witnesses corroborated this statement, James Wood, of the * irm of Wood and Co., deposed that on the night of 11th or 12th of July, two cannisters containing lighted combustibles were successively thrown in at his windows. He instantly threw them hack again, and so prevented a dangerous explosion, One of the canisters he afterwards found in the street and lodged it in the fiscal's office. Thomas Blanc, residing in tbe street, proved the explosion of the combustible matter alter the canisters were flung back. George Dornoch, porter to Messrs. Ilussey, proved to the finding of combustibles in the yarn- room, near the yard boxes. They teemed to have come through the window which was broken. Several witnesses gave evidence of various assaults arising out of the recent " strike." The Court adjourned about 10 o'clock. F R I D A Y , After some argument a letter purporting to be from Patrick M'Gowan, of Manchester, addressed to prisoner Hacket, was read. It contained strong corroborative evidence of ihe assault on Donagby, bv Riddle and others, and showed that these men who fled from Glasgow gaol were expected in Manchester, and would be concealed there. The police officers proved assaults, and stated that the new hands in the factories were provided with victuals there, the buildings being surrounded by thousands of people. Mrs Smith, widow of the deceased John Smith... My husband was out on Saturday evening : when he came home we went out together to make the markets ; after we had made Ihe rr. arkets and were returuing home, my husband was shot from behind ; lie fell forward, 1 started and'screamed out murder three or four times ; my husband was lifted and carried into a surgeon's shop, and from thence to the infirmary, where he died; saw three or four men at the time ofthe shot, hut cannot identity them; I have seen M'Dean acting as one of the guards on Houldsworth's mill, at which my husband wrought. Drs. Pagan and Auchineloss, who attended Smith in the infirmary, deposed to the nature of the wound which caused his death. The clerk then read the depositions of John Smith, which stated that the deeeased'and his wiie had been buying articles of grocery, when he was shot from behind ; that he haa no suspicion of any oneshooiing him, and that he was convinced the old cotton spinners would have injured him if they could- Itobert Christie, a colton spinner, deposed that he had left off the business about three weeks before the strike last spring, when he opened a public house recollected the night Smith was murdered ; the prisoner M'Lean had been in the habit of coining to his house; recollected a conversation he had with him about Mr. Arthur before the murder of Smith ; M'Lean said he was going to ihe other side of the water when witness told bin if he would wait uutil be closed bis sho ' he would accompany him ; he consented, and as they passed along M'Lean commenced to talk darkly about Mr. Arthur ; he 1 afterwards said openly that he was going directly across the water " to death Mr. Arthur ;" witness trembled when he heard the words ; and began to cajole the prisoner as the best means of putting him from his design ; loall this prisoner replied lhat he was determined to do il, and putting his hand to h: s coat pocket said, " it is here ;" and witness observed the butt end of a pistol ; they parted company, and shortly after prisoner overtook witness and said " They were not there ; but I will do it myself ;" witness then more successfully reasoned wilh his companion, and he consented to go home; some lime af er M'Lean and others came lo witness's house, and from what he gathered from their conversation they were " out," but were directed to a wrong house ; they rapped at a door, and the mistress of the house did not seem willj ing to open the door ; they put their shoulders to the door and drove in the panels ; when they went in he said the woman ofthe house was on her knees, with her arms round her husband's neck praying for mercy, and said to him and the other individuals with him, for the love of God not to meddle with her husband ; the husband spoke out. and said they were directed to the wrong house... to go away ; they would get the door sorted, and there would be no more about it, for he knew what they were wanting : M'Lean told the witness this, and added, " No wonder the wife cried, for it was an awfu' like thing to see three awfu' like ruffians like us coming in ;" on the Tuesday after the muider, M'Lean, Thomas Campbell and Montgomery, came to his shop about eleven ; tbe two went into the town, and M'Lean siood in the shop ; be said lo witness that he had made one b . . . , r sleep ; witness said, " Oil! William what is that you are saying 1" he said, pointing lo a placard on tbe opposite side of the street, " d'ye see you 1" " Yes," says witness, " 501. reward ;"•' no,'' sard he, " by God, 5001.;'' catched M'Lean by the breast, and said, " William, for the love of God leave my shop, and make your escape as quick as possible, for you'll be apprehended ;" he turned about arid said, " Oh ! damn it, there's nae down upon me ; they are after another man to Liverpool '" M'Lean then wenl into the room to the rest, and in a few minutes asked for a light for his pipe ; when coming out lie put one hand in his pocket, and held out the olher hand, saying, " there was the wee paw that did the trick?" he swore an oath, and said " little did they think lhat he had done it.;" believed that M'Lean was the murderer of Smith, hut did not give information against him in London ; he cannot give a reason for this ; il would have been a bad job for hiin if be had done so, as M'Lean might have perhaps done him evil again, though he believed be was in perfect safety in London. Adam Dickson, a cotton spinner, saw M* Lean the Monday after tbe murder, at the Black- boy Tavern ; he caught witness bv tbe breast, and said, " 1 believe there's one b r asleep ;" witness asked what he meant, and prisoner asked in return if he hail not heard of a man being shot at Anderton ; witness replied in the affirmative, and said it was a pitv, when prisoner seemed to laugh, and made use of some jesting word. The witness went on to state that he worked at a reduced rate, and could earn from 30s. to 33s. a week, after paying the piecers 11 12s. 6d. per fortnight ; if tbe reduction had not taken place he would have earned about two guines a week ; some, however, could not obtain more than from about I5sto 20s. Cross- examined— On his oathdoesnot believe thatthe association systematically, extensively, and constantly tried to obstruct the nobs ; would not have liked to try himself whether a nob might walk the streets of Glasgow unprotected by day and by night; never heard a secret committee spoken of in ihe trade at a l l ; never saw a Bible used at any meeting, nor heard any word of scripture used. SATURDAY. Archibald Campbell stated that having entered a public house at the Caltona Saturday evening in July, he overheard a conversation amongst a party, apparently spinners, in the course of which it was said, " Smith will be shot to- night ;" be also beard them speak about a cannister: one of them said '* It wasd dwell packed, but d d bad thrown ; tbey were drunk John M'Manus knew the deceased John Smith : was in his company at an auction in July last, where he made a trilling purchase, when one of the by- standers cried out, " Don't give it lo him, he's a nob ;" another said " He's a black- no!) and hissed him : witness entertainned fear for the safety of deceased, as the turn- out spinners threatened to beat those who worked. David Thorburn had been in the company of the rl ceased on tlie night of the muider, when he expressed fears for his safety; half an hour after parting company heard of the murder ; knew all the prisoners ; had himself received money to leave the country becausea spinner had been beaten whom Ihey would not let work in Glasgow, and who wouUTnotgo home to the west country. ( Herethe witness's manner evidently betokened so much dread of the consequences of giving his evidence freely, that the court felt it necessary to assure him, in strong terms, that he was completely protected, as already stated to former witness). Was concerned in that beating ; the person beat was called Currie ; Ibis was about seven years ago : and witness was committed to bridewell for sixty days for it ; had previouslv got money lo quit the country, and was away for three months ; remembers a Widow M'Pherson was killed on account of her daughter working in Dunlop's shop ; the affair was talked of in the association; they said ihey had killed the wife instead of the daughter, whom they wanted to kill : the committee once pointed out. a nob to him that they wanted to have injured ; witness in turn was to point him out tn a partv who were to go with him, and who said they were to break his bones ; witness did not point out the man, bei ause he was an acquaintance. John D u f f y proved that he heard the report of a pistol on the night Smith was murdered, and upon going in the direction heard the wife cry out that her man was shot ; Smith was lying on his back, and said, " Murder, murder I 1 am gone, 1 am gone, I am gone." James M'Dougald deposed to the apprehension of Wm. M, Lean of whom be had been in search ; his name being asked, he said it was John M'lntyre ; witness pointed to his father, and asked " Who is this ?" " He is a lodger," was the reply ; witness looked at prisoner and said, " Come, Sir, tell me your proper name ;" " Well,'' said he, " it is Wm. M'Lean ;'' searched him and found a letter he had just been writing, and some tickets connected with fhe cotton spinners' association : when told that he was arrested for murder he did not say anything, but was very much agitated. After the prisoners, declarations were put in a number of writings found at the time of their apprehension were read : amongst others aleltertrom Mr. M'Neile, who acted as secretary of the association, to Peter Hackett, the treasurer. It was dated Glasgow, May 28, 1837, and expressed fears that letters which had been transmitted bad been intercepted- It slates ( hat a letter of the 21st had etiu- reraled the various items that had been paid to England, Johnstone, & e., and the gross amount is thus given from memory :...

Many witnesses more were called in supportof the prosecution. EXCULPATORY EVIDENCE. The prisoners pleaded that they were not guiby of the charges contained in ihe libel. They objected that the prosecutor had not specified the precise hour at which the alleged murder of Smith was committed ; and a document signed by five witnesses testified that several of the accused were in specified houses fhe greater part of the night ofthe ' i2d of July. William U'Graw and Andrew Mackey, cotton- spinners belonging to the association, swore that they had taken an oath upon joining; that there was no obligation to commit any acts of violence, or to be guided by the will of the majority to such an end ; that the object was to support iust and lawful strikes when the masters reduced wages, & c.; t'hat they never knew of partie; bein » molested by the spinners, anil never heard of certain public trials and convictions. MONDAY. Angus Campbell, W. Smeal, D. Montgomery, W. Lockhart, J. Miller, and other cotton spinners, gave testimony to the same effect as the two first witnesses for the defence. A great number of witnesses, chiefly cotton spinnars, were brought forward to prove an alibi on the part of M'Lean. They i swore to the alibi in distinct terms. But on a severe cross- exa- | mination by the Lord Advocate and Solicitor General, and re- | sumed by the Court, it became manifest that they had signed a certificate in favour of the alibi, conceded prior to the apprehen- ! sion of M'Lean, which led the Lord Advocate to found upon that j circumstance as a powerful ingredient of his guilt in the murder 1 since no innocent man would think of Retting up a plea of alibi ! before lie was actually accused of the crime, unless he knew he was about to perpetrate it, or had really done so. The LOUD ADVOCATE having addressed the jury on behalf of the Crown, strenuously applying himself to the enormity ol ihe facts elicited, Messrs. Dunne, M'Neil, and P. Robertson, replied at great length, and with much eloquence on the part of tbe prisoners. A charge which occupied 13 hours having been delivered by the Lord Justice Clerk, The jury retired, and were occupied in deliberation for five hours, after which they returned into court, at 25 minutes to 9, with a verdict finding, by a majority, the charges Nos. 1, 2, 3, and 10 proven, as libelled,.. and unanimously finding the other charges in the libel not proven. The first charge is a conspiracy to keep up wages. The second relates to the assaults at Oakbank factory. The third relates to the assaults at Mile. etid... and the lentil relates to the attack on Donaghey in Denon's- house. The charge of murder is not proven. Sentence... Transportation for 7 years. COMBINATION' ASSAULT James Reilu, John Canotly, Daniel Clancy. Elioard Walsh, and Patrick Ward were indicted for a violent assault on Michael Blake ; and also for an assault on Elizabeth Blake, his wife. Elizabeth Blake sworn.. I recollect the evening of the 21st of October., after dark two men knocked at the door and asked if the master of the place was within., both doors were shut, ( that is, the parlour and shop doors) and I opened only the top half ofthe shop door... Edward Walsh and Reily were the two who knocked.. I told rny husband ( hat two men wanted him, and he told msto let them ; when I went out again Walsh knocked me up against the door with his hand ; my husband was sitting by Ihe fire ; when Walsh ran in I followed him, and he struck my husband with a square bludgeon on the table and cut his eye ; Walsh gave him a second blow on the back of the head ' Reily smashed Ihe table and all the delft ; Walsh also cut my head wilh the bludgeon ; I begged of them to kill me in. stead ofmv husband, and threw myself on my husband ; Walsh tore me offand gave me a kick ; I knew him as I saw him by the fire- light ; Daniel Clancy anil John Connolly gave my husband the last kick in the side, and said that he was done for ; Clancy beat my husband with his hands ; all they said was, " will you do with it;" that wassaidto my husband; ihe moment they gave him tbe first blow he asked what he had done that thev took hiin so short ; there was a gas lamp opposite the door, and the light of a public- house opposite shone in the shop ; when I thought to escape after rny husband was beaten, Reily met me in the shop and knocked me down : when 1 thought focscape there was acrowd of women about the door ; Ward was the only man I saw, lie bad nothing in his hands; he did nothing bntstanil at the door; 1 knew all tire prisoners by sight; they are bellowsmakers and carpenters; my husband is a bellowsmaker & never hada quarrel with any ol them to my knowledge. Cr oss- examrned by Mr. O'IIAHA.. Tbe assault took placeon Holy- eve; only four men came into the bouse ; there were two blows given before the candle was put out; I am certain that Ibehour was seven o'clock ; 1 was struck before my husband ; I was certainly stunned ; with the exception of Ward, all the men came oui of my house ; I did not see Connolly give the last kick, but 1 heard Connolly say thathe had settled him ; 1 saw him give many kicks ; my husband was throwing up blood when Connolly kicked him ; there were plenty of men in the public house opposite her house ; but Ward was ihe only man outside. Michael Blake— 1 remember Holy- eve ; 1 was silting at my fire- place taking lea ; I heard a rap, and bid my wife answer it ; she told me two men were inquiring for me ; 1 was looking out of the inner room, and saw my wife gelling the blow ; they carrre into the room. and Walsh struck meon the lemples ; Lord ! Lord! said I, what have I done ; Reilly knock the light down with a Slick, and then struck me : I could not tell then how ihey were beating me ; then I began to vomit blood ; and Connolly gave me a kick in the side, and said" he is done for;" then 1 could not remember anything ; 1 am still affected by the beat'ng body and aud legs were severely bFuised Cross- examined by Mr. O'HAKA— 1They wereallin the room when I got the kick, which was accompanied with the expression ; I am not ceitain that Clancy was there : I do not know that Ward was there ; I never had a difference with any of tbe men, except on that night. In answer to a question from the CHIEF JUSTICE . . 1 know of no reason for their beating ino, except lhat 1 am not a regular tradesman : but 1 do not know that from any expressions 1 ever heard the prisoners utter. Margaret Lambert sworn.. I live in Kevin- street ; hut they lived near Blake's ; I know Mr. Blake; I recollect tin: night he was beaten ; I heard screeching, 1 heard no expressions ; when Iran out I saw six or seven women standing ; I went into Blake's house, and got a blow across the face witb something that 1 could not know ; I think it was a thick piece of a hoop; it was a man struck me ; 1 put my hands to my head and ran to my own door. Mr. O ' H A I I A cross- examined the witness. William Ward examined.. I was a police constable ; 1 remember Holy- eve night ; on that evening I arrested Walsh in Francis- street, ten or fifteen doors from Brn's- eonrt ; 1 observed three men in close conversetion ; Walsh, who was one of Ihem, was endeavouring to conceal a bludgeon, and I asked him what he was going to do wilh it ; ihe other men ran off, and 1 brought Walsh to the watch- hou- e ; I observed a dash of blood upon his hand, and asked him how he got i t ; he said he cut his hand, but there was no cut on his hand ; on my return to Francis- street, I heard that Blake was beaten. Robert Cumptonexamined.. I was a watchman ; on the 30th of October I arrested three ofthe prisoners at the public house, Reilly, Cornolly, and Clancy ; tbe public house is close toBlake's house ; I think the hour was about 8. George Maunsell. sworn. .1 am a student in Stephen's Hospital ; 1 saw Michl. Blake on the30lh October ; he was bleeding from two euls in the head ; they were dangerous, he was 10 days in hospitil. Mr. J. O ' I I A H A addressed the jury for the defence, and suggested that in the confusion of the moment Mrs. Blake might have been mist, ken, the more especially as in the case of some of the prisoners he would be able to prove an alibi. Several witnesses having been examined to that effect. ' The CHIEFJUSTIDE charged the jury, who, after deliberating for a short time, acquitted Ward, and found all tbe others guilfy. Tbe Cm EF JUSTICE then pionounced the sentence of the court and said... Prisoners at the bar, you have been conviicled, after a full anil very deliberate investigation, and in Such a manner as not lo leave a doubt upon the minds of any rational person, lhat vou have participated in the foul offence Willi which you are charged. During the time of ihe t r i a l, While it might have the effect of influencing any individual or Creating any prejudice against you, I abstained from commenting upon what it is no exaggeration to call the enor. i ity of your o^, fence, in the midst of this which ought to be a peaceable metro polls, where one would suppose there would be protection for the industrious and well disposed, At an hour when suspicion was not awake, two of you went and addressed the unfortunate woman almost in the language of friendship ; you were invited in, and the door was thrown open to you, when, from whatever unexplained cause, which is as yet left to loose conjecture., forgetful of the feelings of men. . without uttering one word, you commenced a brutal and unmanly attack on Ihe unfortunate wife, and then, in her presence, you made an attack upon her husband.. Very mercifully you have not been indicted for assaulting with intent to murder. Yet from the expressions which were used, when one of you gave what was called the last kick, there is hardly a doubt but that the attack was made with murderous design . The only use of punishment was for example, and certainly the stale of the city does call for example. Offences are committed in it, which, if they occurred in less civilised regions, we would read of them with horror. It was aopilling that, within the precincts of the metropolis, the lives of the quiet and confiding were placed in such jeopardy. Under all the circumstances of Ihe case, tbe court feels bound to sentence you to seven years transportation. jst among them : whereas combination! in its most Iflaeratit form > s tile main S p r i n g which selsall i h r i r ai ; ts in motion.

This was strictly agreeable to the Unionists ideas of justice. With respect to ourselves, they'Sttempted to injure us in a different way; hut, in both cases, there was deep criminality.

We hope our friends the unionists have been provided, likayoung bears, witb fat paws, for it seems highly probable that they will have to subsist on their personal resources for a longer time than they bargained. With the exception of about two columns sent out, the whole of our present paper has been set in our own office, mostly by boys a few days at case ; so that in a fortnight or thereabouts, we shall be independent of journeymen altogether, and unless these foolish persons come to their senses, we will make ourselves so.

Consterdine stated, he lives at Newton Heath, near Manchester He obtained employment, from Mr. Horrocks. at Radcliffe, and look a block to the works,, which he had cut, on the 15th, and obtained a blank block to take home with him. When he bad got about half a mile from the works, Taylor and Horridge come to him, and tbe former asked him if he was ablock cutler 1 He replied in the affirmative. He was then a- ked, if he was working wilh Mr. Horrocks ? • . and he replied " Yes, and I am glad of it, for I was out of work for sometime." Horridge said." Ay, and we have been out e » f work for some time. The other defendants then came . up, and he was compelled, by them, to take the block back again to. ihe-. works. It appeared from the statement of Mr. Mills, Mr. Horrock's book- keeper, that the defendant, made a number of block; cutters, make a turn- out, about twelve months ago, in conse - quence of Mr. Horrocks having taken an apprentice, contrary to the rules of the Block- cutters' club; and, since that period, have, continued to intimidate any man working for Mr. Horrocks, so that all the culling has been sent out. privately, to different places, to be executed.. The magistrates said, it was a very bad case, and committed tbe defendants to three months' imprisonment, and hard labour, which is the extreme punishment the law affords.. Mane:. ester Guardian. COMBINATION OUTRAGE. From the Waterford Chronicle. One of those daring, atrociuus outrages against property, ing out of that wicked spirit of combination, which pervades this unfortunate country, was perpetrated on Saturday night or early on Sunday morning, in the printing- office of this establishment, which is detached by about forty yards from our office of publication A more wanton and malicious aggression we have not heard of lor a series of years., or one that shows more clearly the diabolical disposition of its depraved instigators arid hardened executors. The depredators entered Ihe office we presume after the watchman had withdrawn, and when the streets were still, anil, alter a careful search, proceeded to mark out certain " cafees" and " gallies" as the objects of their vengeance. Those they scattered about the floor, . upseting the types, . and converting into " pye" all the matter which had been set up on the previous day. except what was contained in one or two gallies ; thus doing what lav in their power to prevent the publication of Ihis day's Chronicle. The " cases" which they overturned were Ihose at which certain compositors work, who, in self defence, we procured from a distant part ofthe counlry, when circumstances forced us fo dismiss former hands... whilst the " cases" of two apprentices who, we have been informed, belong to what is aalled the " Water 1' oidTypographical Society," or, more properly speaking the " Waterford Combination of Printers," were left wholly untouched. The system they observed in this foul work of destruction showed ( hat ihey must have been instructed by some one well conversant with the office. Among the matter they overturned, is a very fo- cible exposure, fiom the Ulster Times, of combination amongst the Belfast Printers, which we had to reprint and which wiil be found elsewhere, and the letter of Mr. Winston Barron, onPoorLaws, which we had also to reprint, & will be also foundia our columns. Suspicion, of course, rests on two or three individuals... to bring conviction home to whom will be difficult ; but our best exertions for that purpose, in which, we trust, that we shall be seconded by every man in tbe community, who regards the rights of properly, shall be unsparingly used. Of one thing the combmators may rest assured. In thus acting, they cannot possibly gain the endsfor which they seek.. . The law," they may be satisfied is powerful enough to grapple wilh and strangle their villainous ' designs. Neither intimidation nor outrage can prevail. ' These have already effected their worst, and in'using them, the combinators have destroyed every particle of sympathy which might have been previously entertained for them. Thev stand forth branded as the vilest of the vile... fitonly to take a place among the Swings of England and the Rocks of Ireland... All that that they require to make tliem exceed in atrocity their famed prototypes is, a little more recklessness and darinc But we defy their exertions. We scorn their attempts. While this Establi- hment exists, no matter at all what tire inconvenience — the trouble- the annoyance and vexation be, we are deterinin - ed that not one of thein shall ever obtain a day's employment m it. We have gone on now nearly for six weens wilhout them ; aad we hope that we shall be able to pursue the same successful caree despite of their hellish efforts.

E L O P E M E N T W I T H A W A R D O F COURT. Mr. GIRULESTONE made an application to the Court on the part of the Rev. Mr. WoodhaU. a Dissenting Minister, at Aber. gavenny, whose daughter, Hannah Morgan Woodhall, an infant and a ward of ihe Court of Chancery, had been induced to elope from her father's house with a young man also under age, James Saunders the younger, of Ibe sime place, son of Mr. Saunders, seedsman and farmer. Miss Woodhall had formed an ac juaintance with young Saunders, which coming to the; father's knowledge he forbade the continuance of ihe intimacy.. Notwithstanding this prohibition, it appears that an intercourse^ was still kept up. and Saunders bad caused the banns of marriage to be published in the parish church, and had taken theyoung woman from her father's house on Thursday evening,, since which ihe father has been unable to ascertain their place of refuge. ' The ward has at present the sum of 6001., in ihe hands ot the Receiver- general of this court, and is further entitled lo a roversisn in a large sum of money, the proceeds of which her mother enjoys during her life. He prayed the court that an injunction should immediately issue, restraining the defendarri Saunders from contracting a marriage with the infant ward and that il he have contracted a valid marriage, then that he may be ordered to appear before this court and shew cause why he should not stand committed for contempt of court, and that ho be further ordered to enter into a settlement upon the ward, to be approved by the Master, of all the funds in possession or reversion, which she is or may be entitled to. Lord LANGDALE asked why the application had not been made at the earliest period of the sitting of court, and being anwered that the counsel had been but a short time instructed, his Lordship ordered that an injunction should issue restraining Saunders from all course with the ward, and further ordered lhat he should appear before the court 7 days after servicc of the order at the house of his father. BIGAMY... At Bow- street, on Wednesday, Arthur Battersby. alias H, Napier Disney, late a Captain of Lancers in the service ofthe Queen of Spain, and formerly a private in the Ist regiment of Life Guards, was finally examined on the charge of having feloniously intermarried with Miss Sarah Ann Stovin, a ward in Chancery, Ins first wife being then and now living. It appeared from theevidenee that the prisoner in the year 1826, iugratiated himself with ihe family of the Rev. Mr. Muckleston, who then resided in Welstborne, Warwickshire, but is r. ow of Teigtimoulh, Devonshire, and is also a Vicar and sub- chanter in the Cathedral oi Lichfield. Having obtained permission, he paid his addresses to that gentleman's daughter in the name of Arthur Battersby, and, after a courtship of a few weeks, they were married atWellhorne. Immediately after the ceremony the newly married pair departed for London, where they resided five weeks. At ibe expiration of that period, some disclosures were made, ( the nature of which was not stated), which caused a separation. The young lady returned to her father, where she has been living ever since i a period of 12 years. In August last tbe prisoner got acquainted with Miss Stovin, and, though warned by her brother that she was a ward in Chancery, he married her in Burleigb- slreet Chapel, Strand, in the name of Henry Napier Disney, and they subsequently lived in Dudley- grove as man and w i f e— Upon this evidence the prisoner was committed for trial for bigamy. When removed from tbe bar. he was served wilh citations from the Ecclesiastical and Prerogative Courts, and also with oue from the Lord Chancellor, for contempt in marrying a Ward in Chancery without the consent of the Court. The prisoner is a fine looking man, and lost his right arm at St. Sebastian ; he was attended by a servant in livery, whu accompanied him to Newgale. Miss Stovin's fortune is considerable; anv allusion to the marriage, her brother said, threw her into fits, but though she did notappear against him at the examination she approved of the prosecution ELOPEMENT AND CASE EXTRAORDINARY.. . On Thursday morning last, a loving couple started in a hired gig from the Oxford- road, Reading, and proceeded with all speed in ihe direction of Oxford, with the in. ention, it is believed, of travelling via B rmingham Railway to Gretna- green. The gentleman is a knight of the sheers, son of a respectable tradesman in the town; the lady a near relation of Mr. Rhodes, a person of independent properly, also residing in Reading. Mr. R. accompanied by Sliannon, Inspector of Police, set out on Thursday evening to bring back the fair fugitive, but what success has attended their sapient mission is unknown. The parties met at a ball the preceding evening, al a butcher's in the neighbouring street, and Ihere most probably the plan was arranged. TURKISH NOTIONS OF ENGLAND. . During a recent tour of inspection by the Turkish Ambassador, he visited, among other places, the silk- manufactory of Mr. R , at Manchester, who veiy politely conducted the stranger over his admirable conducted establishment.
